Great boat trip, we didn't have to go very far before we spotted some whales, which was exciting to see! Our guide had been seeing the whales for the last couple days, so we were lucky they knew where to go. Then you need patience (and warm clothes) to keep watching for them, as they dive down & come back up. The boat stayed out longer, to keep watching the whales. IT was a lovely cold & clear day and even got to see a glascier that the locals dont get to see much! The only think I was disappointed in was we booked the lava show with this - and we had to make our own way to this and so the people at boat check in didn't really bother or concern themselves with us booking this at the same day. They didn't know the times the lava show was on. So we looked ourselves online and then walked along to the place (around 15-20mins walk) and used our google maps to get there (as new years eve was hard to get taxis). Lava show when checked in was so easy and people super pleasant & helpful, great bar here (which warmed us up nicely) & souvenir shop had lots of cool & interesting items to buy! The person who did our Lava presentation was great" She seemed to love it and was really informative was lots of interesting & fun facts - on volcanoes & iceland! So enjoyable and not like any other experience uou can have anywhere else in the world!!

Would definitely recommend this tour, operators were very friendly and gave clear instructions. Whale watching tour was very enjoyable, cold but well worth it as we saw lots of whales with some incredible scenery. The whale watching left around 1pm but the northern lights tour left around 9pm giving us a break in between that we didn't know we had. The northern lights tour was touch and go due to weather conditions but still went ahead, the weather was very cloudy/ foggy with lots of wind and snow so no chance of seeing the northern lights. Having seen other reviews of this tour mentioning other customer's behaviour, I would comment that the whale watching tour was a smaller boat with a smaller amount of customers with the northern lights tour being a bigger boat with far more customers. While this dynamic often comes with less control and more selfish behaviour I would also comment that the staff seemed more lax than on the whale watching tour. Granted there wasn't much to see on the northern lights tour but it did feel to have a less polished service. Suggest the northern lights tour could/ should have been postponed for better weather but would overall still recommend this tour and operator.

I will break this review up into two parts. Firstly the whale watching, this in my opinion was by far the worst of the two experiences. When the whales are spotted you better pray you are on the right side of the boat as otherwise you aren't seeing anything. What I mean by that is the other guests will create a human wall blocking you off from seeing what you paid to see whilst they record low quality videos for TikTok. This could be fixed by having a tv screen on the top deck showing you the whales through a camera rather than everyone cramming to the side to block the view. The alternative at the moment is to go downstairs to look for them through plains of dirty glass. The Crew do nothing to make sure everyone gets to see the whales and does nothing to police the other guests during the time on board. It was similar but not as bad on the northern lights tour where we were fortunate enough to see them but most of the guest wouldn't turn their brightness down this then made things worse for the rest of us, again there needs to be a member of the crew actively policing these things in order to insure a better quality experience for all. I would suggest you do a private or small group version of both of these activities so that you can actually see them and not have other tourists inconsiderate behavior ruin it for you. I know the company is not responsible for other guests but they could at least have had someone trying to do something about it. Probably the worst experience I had in Iceland

We went out in very cold and choppy waters, but the company provided seasickness tablets for you to take prior to boarding, and I have to say they worked! We were a little disappointed that conditions meant that although we did see two whales, we did not see much of them at all. The first whale we were chasing out to see and then the captain suddenly decided to leave that one because of the choppy waters. The minky whale we saw next didn't really show very much, but it was still an awesome experience. My only negative was that upon the return journey back to the port, the waves were so choppy that my husband fell to his knees, which scared me considerably as the boat really listed to the side.

A first class operation! A fabulous experience. It is amazing how many whales you can see so close to the capital city of Iceland, We had a ten-hour layover on our way to Spain and took advantage of the down time. The trip was well organized and the guide, Lucas, was amazing. Lucas was knowledgable and entertaining. Of course, the highlights of the trip were the whales. We briefly saw some Harbor Porpoises, had many views of Minke Whales, and a LONG, LEISURELY encounter with a massive Humpback Whale! WONDERFUL!!!

Very good and competent guide, she spotted many whales, jumping out of the water for few of them, weather was sunny, sea was very quit, we were very lucky seing many whales this day, the captain and the guide were very good at finding them on the sea.

I went with my brother and this was a great package deal for our last day in Iceland. It allowed us to have a bit of a later start to the day and gave us plenty of time to get back later to the hotel to pack for our early morning flight back home. We started with the lava show and were lucky to be in a small group, having front row seats to the show and the opportunity to ask lots of questions. The host for the show was super passionate and knowledgeable. Although the weather was a bit rainy and gloomy for the whale watching it still was a super experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, offering windbreaker jackets to stay warm and checked up on everyone throughout the trip. We saw a variety of sea life with the host talking us through each spotting and what it was we were seeing. The length of time was good enough to make sure we saw a variety of things and increase the opportunity to see something, whilst not being too long that you were wanting to head back to land. In the return journey Iceland was hidden by a wall of fog and there was something quite indescribable to be following the seabirds back to port, slowly watching as Iceland broke through the fog and the harbour became visible. Overall, a great value experience package and I would recommend for anyone to do, with friends family or as a solo traveler!

Great trip. We booked short notice and it was a great spur of the moment adventure. Was our first night in Iceland and we enjoyed it very much

We saw whales, so the trip was worth it. The whales were always submerged in the sea but would elegantly show off their tail or top part of body. This was still pretty amazing. It was an enjoyable boat trip due the birds, scenery and skillful calm sailing. Ive been on sea boat trip and felt badly sea sick, not once on this trip. The staff were helpful and friendly. Also the added bonus of photos being taken by the staff/boat. So could just take in the experience and not faff around with taking photos. The only slight downfall, is the amount of people on board, it makes it hard to get a view at times. Also was annoying when boat turned to face whale at 12 o clock, meant less view points/spaces to catch a glimpse. It was better sightings when viewing fir side of boat, 3 o clock, as more spaces for everyone to fit and view on the various decks. Even when other boats had gone, we still stayed longer and tried 2 different spots, so this was an advantage to ensure good chances for everyone to carch a glimpse. Wind was high, so crazy cold, there are overalls but run out quickly. Wrap warm, especially a snood for face!

I couldn't give 5 stars because I actually didn't see any whales, but it was in December and you can't control nature, lol. Even though no actual whale sightings, it's still a nice boat ride that you can capture some beautiful views. The captain was very funny &entertaining and they sold plenty of snacks and things for motion sickness for free.

The organization was good. Unfortunately we were told that February is not a good moth for whale watching once on the boat. In any case the crew and the boat are brilliant. Same for northern lights hunting

Very enjoyable boat trip to watch whales and dolphins in Reykjavík bay. I was relieved boat didn’t go too far out to sea, and I didn’t get sick. It was very gentle. Guide was full of personality and was very knowledgable. We went out on the Andrea boat. Plenty of warm overalls to wear. Office staff were very friendly and welcoming as are all Icelandic people we met. Captain tried hard to find us a whale to see, he went all over the place and even down by the docks where he thought the whale might have been hiding but no joy. Saw lovely pod of dolphins instead

If you have extra money and it’s on your bucket list I would really recommend a smaller boat to see the Whales and Northern Lights , the tour said 3 hours for each and we spend less than 2 hours on each tour. The Whale watching we barely left the harbour as we saw some humpbacks but it would have been better to see one and then go further afield looking for dolphins and other whale species. It was also really hard to see anything because there were so many people we couldn’t get the edge of the boat to look out, and it stayed head on towards the whale whereas if it had moved to the side more people could have seen it. The northern lights we spent 30 minutes sailing out , 1 hour waiting and 30 minutes back. If they had stayed an extra hour from 10.30-11.30pm we may not have seen them still but would have given us a better chance and it is what we paid for. So all in all disappointed and wouldn’t do it again.

It's fine, but i do not go again. It's to many people ( no spaces sit down). Not many spaces to stand up. I understand we need information about safety. But i think it's too much. And sometimes i couldn't hear about what talking guide ( about trip, about safety, so was not clearly). We didn't been lucky to see much of Northern lights, what it's understandable

Bad experience, they canceled the tour and didn't even warned. They put a notice on the office door that the cruise was canceled and there was no one to speak to and we weren't even notified.
