My whale watching trip in Iceland was truly unforgettable thanks to the fantastic team at The staff were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on board. We were fortunate to witness the majestic beauty of whales in their natural habitat, making it an unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Iceland. Thank you to the team for providing such a memorable and thrilling excursion!

Tour di Whale watching ben organizzato e su una barca che ha molti punti di vista aperti oltre che le vetrate per chi vuole viaggiare al chiuso. Ti seguono dall'inizio alla fine e sono sempre molto gentili. Lo spazio sopra la barca è grande e, nonostante era una bellissima giornata e tutti i tour operator erano soldi out per la tantissima gente, non c'era affollento e ci si muoveva molto bene tra un piano all'altro e nessuno stava in piedi. Sono stati bravi a far salire il giusto numero di persone. Non abbiamo visto le balene ma solamente qualche avvistamento da lontano e il tempo di avvicinarsi e sparivano. Infatti a fine corsa ci hanno lasciato un biglietto per un'altra tour valido per molto temo. La consiglio veramente perché loro sono stati bravissimi e onesti!

Amazing experience - we were lucky enough to see a humpback whale swim right under the boat. Knowledgeable and approachable tour guides.

Non abbiamo visto le balene purtroppo.
Consiglio di farlo ad Akureyri, a Reykjavík c’è troppa gente e sembra una crociera.

Great tour company! Very professional and they led the pack! Our vessel found so much wild life and the other boats and companies followed there lead!

We only saw one humpback whale during our tour. I understand that this is not their fault, But as I understood it, the boat was mostly circling around the same places, not going to far out.

Crowded boat, very mediocre experience. Maybe it was the time of the year, but you spend very little time with the whales. In 3.5 hrs of being on the boat, we only saw one humpback whale twice. It was so crowded that you couldn’t get a clear visual. I think go with a smaller operator or on smaller boats for a better experience. The crew is knowledgeable and these guys are very well researched.
They offer the photos for free which is the only positive

Great 3 hours out in the harbour, very informative person talking about these mammals. Seeing such things close up was amazing.

I had an amazing time I went out on an afternoon tour and it did not disappoint. We were incredibly lucky as we got to see three types of different species. Including the humpback whale which flipped in the air twice.???? staff were extremely kind and knowledgeable they provided us with their expertise during the tour. The boat was quite spacious. Lots of room never felt like I was crammed in. They also have a very sweet gift shop. I would definitely go on this tour again. Also staff take pictures of the species you see with their professional equipment and if you email them, they will send them to you for free which is a nice gesture. Especially for those who aren’t Steven Spielberg. ????

Great trip, lucky with the weather. Sightings of Frodo (hump back whale), plus 2 porpoises.
Clear enthusiastic commentary.
Only slight quibble, the introduction had already started upon arrival (a lot of people hadn't yet arrived - we were well on time), doesn't detract from a great experience though!

We went on this boat to see the Northern Lights but unfortunately it was too cloudy.
It was a very comfortable boat . Lots of space to sit inside and out .

The young man who spoke over the intercom spoke perfect English and emplaned the Northern Lights and whales very well .

It’s definitely worth a trip .
When we were on the boat the volcano erupted hence the orange lights .

Food drinks and toilets on the boat plus

warm one piece suits if you needed to keep dry .

Worthwhile and enjoyable trip, boat was great for amenities, crew and guide were excellent. A lovely sunny crisp day and got to see humpback and minky whale.

This is a 100% essential trip for visitors to Iceland. Today I saw, and photographed a humpback whale (and got sprayed a bit by its spout ????). I also saw a minky whale, and a couple of pods of porpoises. It was a great trip, and Anna was a great compare. Thank you Elding. I will be back ????

An unbelievable experience of a lifetime and a bucket list ticked! What a wonderful way to spend time in the habit of the most beautiful mammals in the world. Within 15 minutes we were in the company of three hump back
Whales! The organisation is excellent, the young lady narrator we also commend was a young Brazilian lady who provided the commentary throughout. Her passion, knowledge, enthusiasm and above all love for the whales was palpable and thoroughly enjoyable.

The whole experience was one we will never ever forget made more the better by the commentary. Highly recommended.

100% recommend this company. There were a lot of staff on board. All happy to help, warm and friendly. Tour guide was very knowledgeable of her surroundings and the whales etc. We saw 2 whales 3 times, once getting close to the boat. The staff are very conscious not to get too close to disturb them or interfere which I love as they respect the whales. Can buy snacks on board, use their warm suits free of charge and no smokey fumes. Great trip.

This is an excellent whale watching tour and highly recommended. They are so big and I had the privilege to watch 2 whales for a nice long time after a failed attempt. But this is a must do tour as the experience and the air is amazing. One enjoys the sightseeing apart from the whales. The boat that they take you on is clean and big and very safe.They serve some refreshments too at a cost. They have suits to wear if you want to fight cold. The staff is very nice , polite and helpful. Definitely don’t miss this place.

We didn't see any lights the first night, but I enjoyed our tour guides' positivity on both nights. After not seeing them the first time, we got free tickets and were told to book by email. Due to time constraints, we went 2 nights later, and were lucky enough to see not just green ones, but red ones as well.

In case our cameras didn't take the best pictures, they provide pictures of the night.

If you're going out on the deck, wrap up well because it's cold.

Unglaublich wie dicht die Wale am Kai von Reykjavik sich aufhalten

Balade en mars 2024. Super expérience, équipe sympathique et souriante! On a eu la chance de voir des dauphins et une baleine. Ils font attention au bien être animal et ne s’approchent pas trop pour ne pas les déranger (gros point positif) mais on a quand même une bonne visibilité et ils prennent des photos qu’ils nous envoient en fin de journée donc pas besoin d’être fixé sur sa caméra on peut profiter du moment ! Merci beaucoup pour ce moment !

We went Whale watching today and had a great time. The boat was fairly big and had lots of space. We left on time and headed to sea. The staff where friendly and good on the PA system. We were unlucky and only saw a small pod of Dolphins. No Whales to be seen but not the companies fault. They tried to find us anything and when the other boat found Dolphins we headed towards and got to see them and spent time near them. They stayed as long as they could even getting bsck slightly late to ensure we saw something. Can't fault the effort or enthusiasm of the team despite the outcome! Would recommend these guys and if you are remotely travel sick, take a tablet before hand!!
