Huge Thank you- Takk Fyrir to Totti, Hrolfur and Belen for one of the best experiences in my life! Belen, an expert in love with nature, during the tour despite interpreting the whale activities, was covering all the questions that were coming up out of curiosity about the location and Iceland in general. And even though at the beginning of the tour it seemed to be quiet, thanks to the Captain's huge amount of years of experience and knowing precisely whales' behaviour and several showing up locations- lead us to extraordinary experience of watching several whales communicating by unique way of displaying their body language, such as waving flukes and flippers. Also, one of them appeared at breathtaking distance from the ship just to take some deep breaths before diving in for food and Captain suggested to wait a bit longer, as he knew that this same whale will appear again in several minutes..and it was worth the wait! Generally, would like to give a huge reminder for everyone who is seeking to meet those gorgeous giants that this is not a show per your request, during whale watching tour you might get to see a lot of whales, but also you might get to see none of them. This depends purely on natural activities and factors. Go with this risk and don't get disappointed if you won't see any, go the next time, it's fine.…

Perfect experience: we got to see 4 humpback whales, several times each of them, many puffins just flew by. The ship is old but solid, staff friendly with a little surporise at the end. Recommended

Some changes made due to c-19. We moved from sailing ship to motorized bigger, but the passengers where well separated and most appeared to distance avoiding. We were well informed days before tour on change of ship and that the service of hot chocolate and cinnamon cookies would be suspended. Kristian did a vey good guidance aboard and after all we had more than ten humpback whales sightings as well as some nices. A few puffins even swam clise to ship. A very good experience. You get 20% discount in museum with the ticket as well as some others in restaurant etc in harbour.…
