Whales of Iceland is closely following all government updates regarding COVID-19. In light of the new regulations announced last week, we wanted to remind our guests of the measures that are already being taken, and of a few small changes.

Hand sanitizer is available in our reception area and inside the exhibition. All common areas and surfaces are being regularly cleaned and disinfected. Our staff has been provided with masks and gloves. Masks are not currently mandatory for our staff or for our visitors, but if you would like to have a mask they are available for 200 ISK at our front desk. If possible, please pay with credit card instead of cash.

There is now a limit of 100 people inside the exhibition at any given time. Our staff is counting the visitors that we let in, so if we are full please be patient - you will be allowed in as soon as there is space.

Due to the COVID updates we are no longer offering live-guided tours nor the use of the VR headsets. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this causes. Audio guides are still available in 12 languages, and each mp3 player and pair of headphones is disinfected in between use.


We kindly ask that all visitors follow and respect the 2-meter social distancing rule at all times. If you have any questions before your visit, please reach out to info@whalesoficeland.is, or 00354-571-0077.

We look forward to welcoming you to the exhibition, and will post further updates as they come.
