Our Story
Passionate About Iceland & the Sea
Founded by a team of lifelong marine enthusiasts and local guides, Iceland Discover was created to share the raw magic of our coastline with a more personal, boutique touch.
Who We Are
Born in Reykjavík, Raised on the Ocean
For us, the Old Harbour isn’t just a departure point; it’s our home. We started with a simple mission: to move away from the crowded ‘cattle-boat’ tours and offer a stable, high-end perspective on the North Atlantic.
Whether you’re standing on the teak deck of the Amelia Rose, chasing the Aurora on the Harpa, or feeling the spray on a high-speed RIB, you’re seeing Iceland through the eyes of people who truly love this ocean. In 2026, we remain a family-run operation dedicated to small groups, big experiences, and a deep respect for the wildlife we call neighbors.
What Drives Us
Our Values
Wildlife First
We are guests in their home. We maintain respectful distances and follow strict codes of conduct to ensure we never disrupt the natural behavior of the whales and dolphins we observe.
Sustainability
The ocean is our livelihood. Our vessels are maintained to the highest environmental standards, and we prioritize low-impact viewing to keep the bay healthy for generations to come.
Education
Go beyond the view. Our team provides meaningful insights into the bay’s history and wildlife, turning every sighting into an educational adventure and a story worth sharing.
Community
We are proud of our Reykjavík heritage. We partner with local harbor businesses and contribute to the preservation of our city's historic maritime culture.
