You will be picked up from your hotel by Dive.is shuttle bus between the hours of 070:0 and 8:00, taking you to Þingvellir national park which is about 45 km. from Reykjavík.

You are likely to encounter Minke whales, dolphins, porpoises and even Humpback whales on the cruise! After exploring the wonders of the whales and seabirds Faxaflói offers you return to the harbour around 20:00 and we take you back to your hotel with our shuttle bus.
