ATV + WHALE WATCHING RIB

QUAD BIKES AND R.I.B. WHALE WATCHING – CLOSER TO NATURE, CLOSER TO THE WHALES

Iceland is full of amazing experiences, so why not double up? ATVs take you closer to nature, while RIB boats are known for getting you up close and personal with our amazing marine life. Where else could you enjoy quad bikes and whales on one tour?

PART 1: QUAD BIKING IN ICELAND – MOUNTAIN VIEWS

The first part of your tour is a mountain quad biking adventure. Our ATV basecamp is only around 15 minutes from Reykjavik, so we can pick you up from your hotel* and have you there in no time. No experience is necessary, and our expert guides will make sure you are fully prepared for a safe and exciting experience.

Hit the Mountains Quad Biking Style

Now you are ready for a thrilling ATV ride. We take the quads on off-road routes past a beautiful lake and on to Hafrafjall mountain. See what your bike can do as you head for the top, and an incredible view over Reykjavik and the surrounding landscape.

PART 2: R.I.B. WHALE WATCHING: SMALLER, QUICKER AND MORE PERSONAL

R.I.B. boats (Rigid Inflatable Boats) are quicker and smaller than your usual whale tour boats. That means you cover a wider area in a shorter time – giving you the best chance of catching sight of the marine life off the coast. It also allows you to get much closer to the wildlife, including whales, dolphins, puffins and more. And with a maximum of 12 people per boat, it makes for a more personal whale watching experience.

Whales, Puffins and Amazing Views of Reykjavik

As well as searching for the rich marine life in the waters beyond Reykjavik, you’ll get a unique perspective on the city. We will take a tour of the coastline, including a close encounter with the dramatic Harpa concert hall.

Our Whale Watching Guarantee

Whales are much more unpredictable than quad bikes. So if you are unlucky and can’t find any, we have a Whale Watching Guarantee: you can try again for free on a classic non-RIB whale watching boat tour.

Our Icelandic Weather Guarantee

The Icelandic weather is moody and unpredictable. Unlike the bigger boats, that means RIB tours of the whale habitats occasionally have to be cancelled. If we are unlucky with the weather, then our Icelandic Weather Guarantee offers you two options:

• The fun choice: an RIB puffin and coastline tour + a whale watching tour on one of the bigger boats
• The boring choice: your money back!

*Hotel pick-ups are not included in the price of the tour. You are also very welcome to make your own way to our base camp. Just ask for details.

Tour Highlights

• Get as close to nature with the whales, puffins and wildlife as possible without disturbing them.
• The RIB boats are fast and can cover a bigger search area than the classic whale watching boats.
• Only 12 people per boat with expert whale guide for small group experience
• Less time then the “Classic Whale Watching tour”, only 2 hours from harbour to harbour.
• “Whale Guarantee”, If we are unlucky and can’t seem to find and whales you can try again for free on the classic tour.

Cancellations due to weather: We sometimes need to cancel the whale watching part of this tour due to winds in the main whale habitat area. In such an event we will offer you two choices.

Tracks are dependent on weather and trail conditions.
