Itinerary
Day 1
Meet at Special Tours Ticket Office in Reykjavík's Old Harbour and join the Whale Watching Classic aboard Andrea. The vessel is family-friendly with indoor seating, outdoor viewing areas, and educational displays.
Whale Watching Andrea (Whale Watching Classic)
Classic whale-watching aboard Andrea. Family-friendly vessel with spacious indoor and outdoor viewing, onboard displays of whale bones, baleen plates and teeth, and professional English commentary year-round (German guidance available May 1–Sept 30). Expect sightings of minke whales, humpback whales, white‑beaked dolphins, and harbour porpoises when conditions permit.
Tips from local experts:
- Dress in warm, layered clothing and wear sturdy, non-slip shoes — conditions on deck can be windy and chilly.
- If anyone in your party is prone to seasickness, give motion-sickness medication before boarding; there are indoor seats and sheltered areas for children.
- If meeting on location, arrive at Special Tours Ticket Office (Geirsgata 11, 101 Reykjavík) at least 30 minutes before the scheduled 13:00 departure; hotel pickup (if booked) typically starts around 12:00.
