3.00Expecting to see whales....but it was very hard....at least we saw 3/4 times whales during last 90 minutes. The guide was not always heard from the outside.
A great crew that are passionate about whales

4.00With whale watching it is never a forgone expectation that you will see them. Our expectation was that this area had a lot of whales. Fortunately, we did manage to see 1 whale. The crew was excellent, passionate and well studied. I really appreciated how they kept us engaged and answered our questions. The boat was full sometime making it difficult to get a good view. Again the crew did manage to find spots. I didn’t realize how far we traveled in the first two hours. It took us the entire 3rd hour and then some to get back to the dock I would recommend this tour.
We saw whales but...

4.00The boat we were on was very spacious with a small concession with inside, covered seating. We did see some whales on the tour. Most of the guests stayed outside to watch for the whales. Laws in Iceland regarding marine life are very different than in North America. We watched another tour boat literally chasing one of the whales. That was a bit disturbing to us. Our boat did not engage in the chase.
Two whales spotted and had a nice afternoon

5.00The reception in the shop was already pleasant. My daughter was afraid of seasickness. But nothing bothered her. 2 whales were soon spotted, and we stayed close to that for a long time. Wonderful to see them fishing. Of course, you can see them best outside, and to avoid cold and wetness, you can easily borrow overalls. Nice and warm! The guide could tell nicely, especially at the times when there was nothing to see. We enjoyed it!

4.00It was a great experience. The guide really knew her business and was very informative. Whales were very cooperative, and appeared as promised.
Beautiful experience

5.00Beautiful navigation in the fjord while visually hunting for humpback whales. It is advisable to wear the suit they provide because the wind is strong. There is a high probability of seeing whales that suddenly appear. They offer a free service for photos of the sightings, but do not trust it; they do not always take them and send them to you. Without getting too distracted and losing the emotions of the sightings, take some photos.
Good tour

5.00Very nice tour. Warm clothes provided, very good guide. Boat was well maintained. Saw one Minke whale and several humpbacks. Recommend RIB boat tour if you want closer viewing and you feel able
Seeing creation was awesome!

5.00This is a tough trip - for the team to help you see & appreciate the wonderful sea creatures in close proximity Yet, it fulfilled expectations! I was very excited to book this & it was brilliant The enthusiasm of our guide & explanations of what to look out for & when, helped tremendously Standing up on the upper floor gave me a better view of these magnificent creatures There were warm outfits for those still feeling the cold/wind & it wasn’t made embarrassing The bonus of photos being sent by email is a real bonus too as I was too late to see quite a few that others spotted In all, we saw 9 whales, & I personally viewed 3,or 4 Very highly recommended
Wow!

4.00I wasn't sure what to expect with a whale watching tour as you hear about good & bad (non) experiences but this was really good. The departure point was very close to the cruise ship dock (5 mins walk) as explained by member of staff in the little hut as you disembarked, who also spoke excellent English. The boat went back up the Fjord & not into the open ocean & the weather was fantastic, making for a smooth trip. We saw what turned out to be the same humpback whale multiple times, & there was a real feeling of consideration for the whale when it was explained that the time observing the whale was up. My only disappointment was the 'speaker' on deck. Unfortunately the commentary was just a distorted noise. But Jacob shouting 11 o'clock! Or 7 o' clock! Was great for knowing where to look. And hopefully the speaker will have been replaced by the time you enjoy whale watching 😀
Quite great

5.00Don't expect dozens of whales surrounding the boat. Never going to happen! The brochures paint a glorious picture. However, you will likely see 2-3 whales performing various dives for food. It's exciting. Then again, I live in Santa fe, nm where whales and any sea life not exist. Have realistic expectations and you'll be pleased 😄
