      A magical experience
      I 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.

      Great 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.

      Brilliant all round
      A 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!

      Great experience seeing the northern lights
      Smoothly driven boat ride with expert staff made this tour a wonderful experience. The onboard snack bar was convenient, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about both astronomy and the Aurora borealis.

      Excellent experience
      This was excellent. The guide was great, informative and fun. He was helpful in telling us the settings to use on our phones/cameras to get the best pix. The boat was comfortable with plenty of room to warm up indoors when I got cold. Fortunately, the NL were visible the night I went. So, I was a happy camper.

      Amazing whale watching
      Whale watching was amazing! The trip was well organised. The commentary was excellent. The boat was comfortable with warm overalls available to borrow. We loved the experience and we're lucky to get up close to 3 humpback whales.

      Great time whale watching. Went with our 7yr olds. The guide was excellent with great sense of humour. We got to see 5 humpback whales. Would highly recommend this company for whale watching after lots of research. Thank you very much

      Whale watching
      Great trip, just walking by the harbor and went in and booked, seemed a nice calm day for a boat trip, went on boat Andreas, sea was a bit choppy once we left the harbor but we saw plenty of whales and dolphins, also the guide takes photos too, just in case you miss out

      Great trip. The guide gave great instructions on how to navigate the boat, how to avoid sea sickness and other helpful hints. Sea sickness tabs were available for free. Thermal overalls are available for those who sit outside. Great trip.

    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!
