    Fantastic experience on the rib boat and we were very well looked after. Saw so many whale sightings, quite emotional experience for us, especially as one whale breached which was quite a wow moment. Great to have a marine biologist aboard who was very knowledgeable

    If you have any back, hip or knee issues I strongly suggest that you don't do this trip. Even though the seats are very comfortable, if its windy then the waves peak and you bounce around in boat pretty aggressively.

  • Great trip

    Jacob our tour guides was very knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. He knew where to go find the whales and would explain to us what we were seeing as it happened. I would absolutely do this tour again!

    I did the rib boat Express whale watch Tour ...and it was amazing they got us right up next to some whales... we saw whales breaching.. lots of breaching and lots of whales.... of course it's nature and not guaranteed but this was one of the better whale watching trips I've been on and I have been on a lot of whale watching trips . .....definitely not for you if you have back issues or mobility issues because our water was a little rough and it might be too much for people like that ......but if you're adventurous and healthy with no injuries it's the way to go

  • The 12 Seat Zodiac was fantasic! Well worth the money.

    We took the small 12 seat Zodiac boat and were able to manuver closer to the whales when they surfaced that the other ships also whale watching. The captain of the vessel was excellent and she was able to get us within camera range without interfering with the whales feeding, direction or path. The whole experience was first rate and SO worth the cost. The guide on board the Zodiac provided insightful information on whales in general and was able to answer all our questions. This was a great experience and we highly recommend this company. They provides us with a cold weather water proof full suit to keep you warm and dry. Bring a knit hat and gloves to keep warm. They also have googles to protect your eyes from the cold wind during the boat ride to the area that the whales most often are. They small gift shop had some great souvenirs also to make this special experience. If you have mobility issues the larger ship they have available is the way to go. If you can climb in and out of the rubber type Zodiac and straddle the seat and sit on a semi cushioned boat seat that is the way to go. We had a very successful whale watching time. But remember no one can promise if the whales will be feeding or going through the area at any given time.

  • Will be recommending to everyone!

    One of the best boat tours we’ve ever been on. The crew did a great job of bundling us up to stay warm on the water. On the water the crew was very enthusiastic and passionate about sharing their knowledge of whales. We got to see some rare whales during our tour and our guide was super excited. The captain took additional time to make sure we saw whales. Would recommend to anyone who is considering a whale tour out of Akureyri.

    Epic trip. We got to move onto the express tour which was a very good switch. The trip out and back was stunning! We got nice and close to 5 Humpbacks. Agnes and Karen were great! Would recommend
