Educational and Exciting

This was an amazing whale and puffin watching tour. Not only did we see a lot of wildlife, we also learned so much about the animals we were seeing. We were lucky to see whales and puffins on our own throughout Iceland, but without the tour, we would never have learned all that we did about them. I can't believe whales are conscious breathers!

Great deal and no finacial risk whale watching!

The crew was so wonderful! They provided great commentary on both puffins and whales in the area. What was so great was that all passengers were given a full refund due to not seeing a whale well (though we did see a tail). This is their policy which makes booking a great deal. I do not think the lack of whale sighting was due to their operation. Much of whale watching comes down to luck. I also got VERY sea sick but the crew was regularly checking in on me to make sure i was doing all right.

Just awesome!

The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable on the whales and bird species we saw along the trip. We saw plenty of whales from pretty close: very impressive and beautiful!

Whale watching with respect for wildlife

Published on Aug, 2023

Very well organized an professional tour by knowledgeable staff on board of the small wooden ship. We were provided warm overalls which was really comfy to stay warm. Good explanation of puffin life and we spotted two humpback whales really clise by. The shipper ensures the whales are bot disturbed and at the same time everybody on board had enough time to see the whales and take pictures. On the way back we were treated hot chocolate and a tasty cinnamon bun. Really nice! We are a family with children 16 and 18 years and all had a fantastic afternoon on this trip!
