Nice experience. Excellent guides with good transportation. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Great prices.

I spent such a great moment surrounded by nature, we saw four whales, from really close. And I also loved to be in the fast boat, jumping the waves. The guide was really good.

Perfect for whale watching. Wear their overalls to keep warm. Crew knew where we had to go to see whales. I have brilliant photos

Lovely trip out on the water, dolphins swimming alongside us. Unfortunately we didn't see any whales, but I still enjoyed the experience

Great tour with very educated staff. Did seem like a lot of the tour was travel time, but there are beautiful sights to go along with it. We were able to see humpbacks and Minke whales and they were gorgeous..you could tell how respectful and educated the staff were about protecting wildlife, I really appreciated this. The day we went we barely had to leave the “bay” area, so it was very calm. But, the tour guide said sometimes it is rough out so keep Gravol in mind if you choose to go on the trip. Another addition was the warm floater suits you were provided with which we really loved! Recommend warm footwear (not running shoes). If you get cold there is a nice inside seating area that you can still sit in and enjoy the view. I wore enough clothing I could stay outside and enjoy the wildlife/birdlife. Hot chocolate is offered with a few.

Very nice tour.. The sheer number of whales you encounter is exciting.. The winter suit provided is warm. Overall, highly recommended

Lucky for us the trip was in great sunny weather (although it was chilly of course) showing off the beautiful scenery as we travelled towards the sea in search of whales. We were not disappointed. The boat got us amongst the humpbacks within the first hour. We saw several of them sometimes in pairs and on occasion were very close to them. One actually jumped out of the water putting on a spectacular splash. Several gave a fantastic view of their tails as they deep-dived. Three hours passed in a flash. An unforgettable experience.

We spent most of our time in between 2 whales and 1 by itself , the captain wouldn’t commit and we watched in envy the other boats and tour groups enjoying close up encounter of the whales, this tour was most expensive and without doubt the worse of the lot

I returned exactly one year later to experience again the whales of Akureyri. No disappointment, only more joy. The staff were wonderful, as usual. The especially knowledgeable Jerry was the guide on my extreme whale watch. Water was a little rough that day, but we all were safe and enjoyed the excitement of our adventure with the whales. I highly recommend whale watching while in Akureyri!

I went at 9 pm and it was such an amazing experience. It was around 11 when we got back and this was plenty of time. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly we saw a lot of whales, all of them humpback. There were around 5 swimming around the bay while we were out there and we got very close to them. I also had my nice DSLR camera with me and did not have to worry at all about getting it wet. I'd recommend bringing a dry bag or plastic bag for transit, in case you have choppier conditions than I did. By the way, this company and Elding are exactly the same. I booked with Ambassador, but left from the Elding building.

My son and I booked the regular 3 hour tour, not the small fast boat. We ended up having to go pretty far out to the end of the fjord to see whales so we were glad we were on the warmer and more comfortable boat. In the end, we saw two humpback whales so it was worth it. Our guide was really knowledgeable and talkative. We got a 10% discount by mentioning our hotel. A beautiful but long ride. Ask the shop how the whales are running before going out. We did the 2PM tour.

We took the small boat tour in the evening and ended up being the only two people on that tour. It was 2 hours long and we went out into the fjord to where the whales were swimming. We were moving right along and all of a sudden there were whales everywhere. We actually got to see one of them breach! It was so impressive that it was worthy of National Geographic. Our guide, who was a marine biologist, said that is rare to see. Highly recommend this tour. It’s worth the money for the smaller tour because you can see all sides around the boat, so you don’t miss anything.

We had a great experience with the blonde young lady at the Desk , she went over and above to help us try to find a tour that fit our schedule. The pride in the front staff shows the quality of an operation!

I am writing this review as somehow my original review on their FB page disappeared (They only want good reviews?). I was advertised with the boat, Ambassador, before they updated their boat lists on their website. The actual day we only see the Konsull, described on their website as a former ferry. This contradicts with their information in their 'about' section already such as "...boats custom designed for whale watching" and "...multiple whale watching platforms". We saw whales but it was a tiny boat with pointy head, so the front can only accoummodate 6-8 person, these people will also occupy this area for the whole trip because obviously it is the best spot on the boat. If you can't get those spots, you'll most likely be looking at multiple heads for the whole trip and forget about getting nice photos, so make sure you know which boat you'll get. That day I saw another boat from another company (red color), their boat is a catamaran which means the viewing dock is squared, its equipped with 2 floors/deck in the front and another at the top and another at the back, and goes further out the fjord. That was when I regretted choosing this company. TLDR: Make sure you know which boat you'll get. Don't go with the Konsull, but if you must, make sure you get the limited spots in the front.

One of the best excursion we did in Northern Iceland. We were on the 1st boat tour of the season in early May 2017! The staffs are nice and the boat was nice and clean. After about 45min-1hr, we spotted 3 humpbacks around the area! It was a wonderful day. Highly recommended! Great company!
