The Lava Tunnel & Whale Watching from Reykjavik with Transfers

Uncover the mysteries of Iceland with an unforgettable journey that combines two remarkable experiences. Your day begins with an exploration of Raufarhólshellir lava tunnels, a natural wonder that has been evolving for over 5,000 years. This 1,360-meter (4,500 ft) tunnel, shaped by the Leitahraun eruption, offers a truly unique Icelandic attraction. Guided by an expert, you'll traverse the mesmerising underground landscape, where the tunnel's breathtaking formation is highlighted by the beautiful lighting. The winter season adds a touch of magic as stunning ice sculptures grace the cave entrance. Discover this hidden world with ease, thanks to well-placed footbridges and paths. Helmets and lights are provided, but we recommend wearing warm overalls and sturdy, ankle-supporting shoes for maximum comfort and safety. 

Whale Watching

The adventure continues as we journey to the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík, the launch point for a thrilling Whale Watching tour with Special Tours Wildlife Adventures. Brace yourself for the untamed behaviour of these majestic marine creatures in Faxaflói bay. Look out for minke whales, harbour porpoises, humpback whales, and white-beaked dolphins as your guide provides captivating insights into their world. Settle in, relax, and enjoy a hot chocolate or coffee, all while wrapped in warm overalls provided on board. The Whale Watching tour lasts approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, ensuring you have ample time to soak in the wonder of these phenomenal creatures. 

After your tour, your journey concludes in the Old Harbour, just a short stroll away from a vibrant array of shops and restaurants in Reykjavík's city centre.  

Lunchtime presents an opportunity to indulge in a meal at the Reykjavík Harbour, where you can choose from a range of restaurants. Do keep in mind that time may be limited between the tours, so sandwiches and snacks are available for purchase on board the whale-watching ship.
