5Magical experience
This was the second time we've been on this experience and it was amazing both times. Warm drinks were available on board, take some snacks with you and be prepared with clothing to suit the weather.
5Magical experience
WOW! That was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life. We got to see around 8 different whales, plus dolphins. Everything was very well organised and punctual, and our guide was great at finding the animals and explaining the types, their characteristics, and encouraging the participants on a very cold night. We did the tour during summer, with the midnight sun, which made everything even more magical. It was quite a long trip since we were there for a few hours, until past midnight, just admiring the animals and the beautiful views.
5Beautiful and respectful ride with the whales
Beautiful ride and respectful with the whales. The explanations by the crew were really interesting along with the professional pictures taken, which allows you to focus in enjoying the live experience.
5A great guide, captain and crew for this fantastic experience!
The guide we had on 9/5/2026 for our 3-hour watch was fantastic!!! She was knowledgeable, funny and informative we learned a lot about whales as well as the birds we saw in the fjord. I must add the whole crew was great! They work with other companies to help spot the whales and share information as well as use what is gathered for important research. Our Captain also kept the appropriate distance from the whales protect them and keep them from stress. The area where we traveled, Eyjafyordur is calm, so we had no one on board that got seasick. We were lucky to spot and photograph Sparkly - a humpback whale (assumed to be male whale until it can be confirmed)! We were able to watch him surface, blow and dive along with a few other whales in the distance. There were jackets on board in case we got too cold, plus snacks and drinks which were reasonably priced. Highly recommend this outfit!
5Superb whale watching trip
Had a fantastic trip with plenty of whale sightings as well as seeing some porpoises. The ship was lovely with superb viewing points from up top as well as a comfy seating area down below. The crew were very good and particularly the guide who was incredibly knowledgable and informative. One of the best trips I have been on - thoroughly recommend.
5Great trip - highly recommended
Fantastic crew: very knowledgeable and interesting commentary. Spacious boat with good views inside and out. Downloadable photos of whales included. Bar serves hot drinks and snacks that are reasonably priced. Excellent value for money.
