About this experience
If it is less than 24 hrs to your ride, call or WA us, +354 7813000 and we make the reservation for you.
Your driver will arrive directly at your hotel or Airbnb and will call you or ask for you at the front desk upon arrival. There is no need to wait outside — simply be ready at the scheduled departure time. As this is a private transfer, the vehicle is reserved exclusively for you and your group.
After meeting your driver, you will enjoy a comfortable and direct ride to Lavashow/Flyover/Whalemuseum.
This service is designed to make your visit easy and stress-free, allowing you to arrive relaxed and ready to explore one of Reykjavík’s most interesting touristic attractions.
This listing includes a one-way private transfer to LavaShow/Flyover/Whalemuseum. If you would also like transportation back to your hotel or Airbnb, please see our separate round-trip transfer listing, which includes both directions.

Cancellation for this tour
Free cancellation until 23 hours before departure. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is sea state — the skipper decides an hour or two before departure; in winter this happens often. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Flyshuttle.is - Licenced Taxis decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
- 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
- 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.
What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 23 hours before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Our flight from the UK was delayed but our driver was monitoring our flight and was waiting for us at the airport when we landed. The taxi was spacious for 5 passengers and 5 cases. The door to door journey was smooth, relaxing and stress free. Our driver was extremely friendly and provided helpful advice and recommendations for our visit to Iceland. I highly recommend this service.

Driving from Reykjavik city to the airport worked perfectly with Thorvaldur. We were on a tour and the end time was not fixed. We communicated with Thorvaldur per WhatsApp and he was there as we arrived. We didn’t have to wait, which was great after a long , windy day.

Whale watching — questions people ask
When is the best time for whale watching in Iceland?
April to October, with June to August the most reliable. Humpbacks and minke whales feed in Faxaflói off Reykjavík and in the northern fjords all summer, and white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises turn up on most trips. Winter boats still sail from Reykjavík, but sightings drop and the sea is rougher. If whales are the point of your trip, come in summer and book an early departure; seas are usually calmer in the morning.
Can you see whales from Reykjavík in December?
Sometimes. Boats run from the Old Harbour all year, and winter trips do find whales, mostly humpbacks and the occasional orca. But December means short daylight, cold wind and a higher chance the operator cancels for weather. Sightings are noticeably less frequent than in summer. If you are here in winter, go anyway, but treat it as a sea trip with a chance of whales rather than a whale trip. Most operators offer a free second trip if nothing shows.
Is Húsavík or Reykjavík better for whale watching?
Húsavík, if you can get there. Skjálfandi Bay in the north sees humpbacks close to shore from May to September, and the small family-run boats like Friends of Moby Dick (/experience/752602/) keep group sizes down. Reykjavík is more convenient: boats leave the Old Harbour five minutes from most hotels and run all year. Akureyri and Dalvík in Eyjafjörður are also strong. If you are only in Reykjavík, go from Reykjavík and do not feel short-changed.
Will I get seasick on a whale watching tour?
You might. Faxaflói is open sea and the boats roll, especially in wind. Take a tablet an hour before departure, stay on deck in fresh air and watch the horizon rather than your phone. Morning trips tend to be calmer than afternoon ones. If you know you suffer badly, a two-hour RIB trip (/experience/155331/) is faster and bumpier but shorter, or pick a northern fjord like Eyjafjörður, which is more sheltered than the bay off Reykjavík.
