Skrúður was built in 1988 and became part of the Elding fleet in 2012, where it is used for various private tours and occasionally operates as the ferry to Viðey island. Designed for versatility and comfort, Skrúður is well equipped for small group whale watching, sea angling, and other ocean adventures. It features two outdoor viewing platforms and a spacious indoor saloon with ample seating, providing a comfortable and immersive experience. With its stability and excellent facilities, Skrúður is an ideal choice for medium sized groups seeking an exciting and unforgettable journey at sea.
We are Reykjavík's original family-owned boat tour operator, offering unforgettable sea adventures year-round from the heart of the Old Harbour. While whale watching is our signature experience, we also operate seasonal tours such as puffin watching, northern lights cruises, and sea angling, as well as private charters for a more personal experience on the water. Beyond our tours, we manage all operations on Viðey Island, home to the Imagine Peace Tower, and host a unique floating museum in our Visitor Centre, permanently moored by the pier. As leaders in sustainable tourism, we are committed to environmentally responsible practices, actively contributing to IceWhale’s efforts for ethical whale watching and helping shape Iceland’s code of conduct for marine wildlife encounters. Whether you’re seeking wildlife, history, or adventure, we invites you to experience the ocean like never before.
