What you'll do

Day 1: Arrival in Reykjavik
Your Iceland adventure begins as you arrive in Reykjavik, the capital city. Upon arrival, check into your hotel for your first night. You’ll have the evening free to explore Reykjavik, wander around its vibrant streets, and enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants. This is a great opportunity to take in the culture, architecture, and coastal views of Iceland’s bustling capital.

After breakfast, pick up your rental car and start your scenic drive north to Olafsvik, a small village known for its incredible whale watching opportunities. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel, conveniently located next to the harbor, where you’ll have easy access to your whale watching trips. Spend the evening relaxing or take a stroll around Olafsvik to admire the stunning surroundings.

Day 3: Whale Watching Tour
On your third day in Iceland, embark on your first whale watching tour. Departing from the harbor in Olafsvik, this trip offers the chance to spot orcas, humpback whales, and other marine life that thrive in these waters. The waters around Olafsvik are famous for being home to various whale species, and this experience is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip. After the tour, you will have free time in the afternoon to explore the village, visit the local fish market, or simply enjoy the peace of the Arctic landscape.
