The 3 Best Show

1.Reykjavik: Whale Watching in Faxaflói Bay & Live Lava Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 29 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $154Our pick

Sail from Reykjavik’s Old Harbour in search of minke whales, humpbacks, dolphins, porpoises, and rare killer whales, then watch molten lava flow at Lava Show Reykjavik. The two activities are at different locations, so plan your own trip across town between them.

“Both the whale watching and the lava show were excellent. It was not clear that the 2 events are separate and occur in different locations in Reykjavik. The customers have to provide their own transportation from one activity to the other.”

2.Reykjavik Whale Watching and Lava Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · from $145Best value

Pair a Reykjavik whale-watching cruise with a 50-minute live Lava Show. Search Kollafjörður for whales, dolphins, and orcas, then see real superheated lava pour into an auditorium. Warm flotation overalls are provided, and a free second cruise is offered if no whales or dolphins appear.

“The most ugly thing: we did Not see whales!!!! It was the reason of our trip to Iceland. First of all, you cancelled the event, the day I scheduled and paid for. And then only saw water”

3.Reykjavik: Whale Watching & Lava Show

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 1 day · from $153Top rated

Watch molten lava glow, learn how Iceland was shaped by fire, then head into Faxaflói Bay with an English-speaking guide to look for whales. The whale trip begins at 13:00, while 18:00 bookings refer to the Lava Show. Warm overalls, heated seating, Wi-Fi, a café, and restrooms are included.

“This was an absolutely incredible activity for me and the children to do. We were all captivated by the lava, the film and the presenter. We managed to get front row but you can see from where ever you sit. The history of ísland is fascinating and seeing actual lava, how it forms and the colours was amazing. I would highly recommend.”
