Iceland Super Saver: Northern Lights Cruise plus Whale Watching in Reykjavík

Two boat tours bought together, taken on whichever days you choose and in whichever order fits the rest of your trip. The northern lights cruise sails at night, with coveralls handed out before boarding, because standing still on a deck in an Icelandic winter is a different cold from walking around in one. While the sky is being watched, the guides tell the legends that grew up around the aurora long before anyone could explain it. The whale watching crosses Faxaflói Bay. Minke whales and humpbacks are the regulars there, close enough to the boat to see properly, and other species turn up often enough to keep the crew scanning the water.
