PERLAN - WONDERS OF ICELAND

Perlan is the number one attraction in Reykjavík and the biggest nature museum in Iceland. 

 

Here, you learn all about Icelandic nature and how this beautiful island came to exist. 

Wonders of Icelandic nature come alive around visitors through interactive displays, immersive experiences, and cutting-edge technology, making adventures fun and educational for everyone.

 

The building is located on Reykjavik’s highest hill in Oskjuhlid. It consists of a vast glass dome on top of six district water heating tanks. Four of them are still in use, one hosts a real Ice cave, and one has been turned into a first-class planetarium.

 

The main attractions in Perlan are a walkthrough indoor Ice Cave made from real snow and ice, a Northern Lights Show in the Planetarium, and a Lava film, Latrabjarg Cliff – a ten-meter-high replica of one of Europe‘s most significant seabird cliffs with lifelike birds.

 

On the 4th floor, you will find a gift store with a good selection of Icelandic designs, Perlans Ice Cream Parlour, with its homemade Ice cream. 

You can also access the 360°observation deck with views all over the city and its surroundings—nearby mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.

 

On the 5th floor, right under the glass dome, you´ll find Perlans restaurant and Café. The view from there is quite spectacular. The floor revolves, and the views constantly change as you enjoy your meal or a cup of coffee.

Reykjavík Sailors ticket office for whale watching and tour information at the Reykjavík harbor in Iceland.

Whale Watching departure times

09:00 / 13:00 / 17:00

The Whale Watching tour takes approx. 3-3.5 hours.

A 3-3.5 hour adventure departing from Old harbour. We sail into Faxaflói bay in search of Minke and Humpback whales, Dolphins and Harbour porpoises.

10:00 / 14:00 / 21:00

The Express Whale Watching tour takes approx. 2-2.5 hours.

Provided with the faster boat so the time on the spotting area is the same, just sailing to that point and back to harbour is shorter.

Stunning Whale watching

Slightly unusual tour, as it started with a 30 min coach ride to another harbour, but once there and on board the boat, it was fantastic, there were two humpbacks in the harbour itself, spent half hour following them round in circles. Then out to the harbour mouth to see the pinnacle of the trip a full breach no more than 30 metres in front of the boat. Would highly reccomend, very professional and friendly crew and a great experience
