A whale watching tour in Faxaflói Bay outside of Reykjavik and a visit to the Whales of Iceland exhibition will give you a good insight into the lives of these fantastic creatures. You can choose if you want to start with a whale watching tour or a trip to the Whales of Iceland exhibition, they are located about a 12-minute walk from each other.
