double as sight-seeing tours of Reykjavík since some popular landmarks are hard to ignore from the sea, even when you’re searching for whales. The whales that you can hope to see on a whale watching tour will be listed here by size, starting with the largest mammal on Earth: The Blue Whale. Fin Whales, Sei Whales, Northern Bottlenose Whales, Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Orca Whales, White Beaked Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises. It is safe to say that there are plenty of whales and dolphins in the sea around Iceland. Humpback whales, Minke whales and Dolphins are a more common sight than the largest ones. Puffins can also sometimes be seen on whale-watching tours in the summertime and they are, of course, a welcome bonus.
