- Departure601267946100 contributionsWhale & 🦭 sealAmazing from tour from start to finish our boat was called Andrea, we were given water proof suits, there was a café all the crew were brilliant, are guide was brilliant and let us know which side the boat the whale's 🐋 were coming up ....we also had a beautiful little seal 🦭 popping up to see us just perfect.Written December 3, 2024
- EllieAB0 contributionsA magical experienceI couldn’t recommend this tour enough it was magical. As soon as we arrived at the harbor the staff were very friendly and informative about our schedule and directed us to the boat we would be using that day. Once boarded the boat had 3 floors with a cafe on board and plenty of places to sit - Suits were also provided to layer up if you wanted to stand outside which I was extremely grateful for! We headed out close to the harbor and found 2 humpback whales leisurely swimming around feeding and enjoying their space. It was fantastic to see, they came up for breaths before diving allowing us to see them close. For hours we spent watching these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. One of the crew was stood on a viewing platform and she was so informative with facts about the whales as well as helpfully pointing them out. A cheeky seal kept popping up out of the water to check out the boats which was a lovely addition! This tour was something I’ll treasure forever as a memory seeing this majestic creatures which we need to help protect.Written December 3, 2024
- coreyf6860 contributionsGreat tour to start our trip!Had an amazing cruise around the puffins with very knowledgeable tour guides. We had great views from inside the boat cabin and on the deck, and got close enough to see the beautiful birds in detail! There are plenty of binoculars on board, although they get used pretty rough, so if you have your own you should bring them with you, but the ones on boat work fine if you don't.Written December 1, 2024
- 89rowenaa0 contributionsBrilliant all roundA brilliant trip, obviously they’re not in control of what you see but we were super lucky to have brilliant sightings of at least 2 humpback whales. Very knowledgeable guide, friendly crew and reasonable on board drink prices - certainly compared to the rest of Reykjavik! Keep you booking receipt for a discount off a round at the local cafe Rost - it will definitely help!Written November 30, 2024

Everything was exactly as described and the boat east to find, the view over Reykjavík with all the new year fireworks was an unforgettable experience and I couldn’t recommend enough!
Just make sure to wrap up warm if you want to watch from the top deck and get there early if you want a seat inside!
