- Info: Live streaming webcam at Miobakki Wharf in Reykjavik in Iceland. Miobakki wharf is located in the Old Harbour of Reykjavic, the capital of Iceland. It is the main cruise ship dock as well as is the main port of departure for whale and puffin watching tours, as well as Northern Lights cruises. Miobakki is just a short walk from the centre of Reykjavic.
More info: Reykjavík is situated on a peninsular and is surrounded on three sides by the sea and watched over by the imposing Mount Esja.
The original purpose of the old harbour was for fisheries and trade and although these industries are still important, they have given way to tourism in recent years.
Many tours leave from Reykjavík Harbour, some going on throughout the year. The most notable of these are the whale-watching tours. Leaving multiple times a day, the vessels cruise into Faxaflói Bay. In summer, puffin watching tours are also available. These go to the isles of Lundy and Akurey, just offshore, where they nest in the thousands. In winter, Northern Lights Cruises can offer some of the best opportunities to see the aurora borealis.
