Best Whale Watching Tour Ever! - We booked this trip independently during a Norwegian Cruise and From start to finish, this tour was one of the most exciting and exhilarating whale watching tours we have ever taken ( and we have done many!) we felt perfectly safe and we had an absolute blast bouncing through the icy arctic waters in search of dolphins and whales! Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! We will always treasure this tour as one of our very favorites! Don’t. pass up this opportunity!

Unforgettable - I spent such a great moment surrounded by nature, we saw four whales, from really close. And I also loved to be in the fast boat, jumping the waves. The guide was really good.

Saw lots of humpback whale up close! - I went at 9 pm and it was such an amazing experience. It was around 11 when we got back and this was plenty of time. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly we saw a lot of whales, all of them humpback. There were around 5 swimming around the bay while we were out there and we got very close to them. I also had my nice DSLR camera with me and did not have to worry at all about getting it wet. I'd recommend bringing a dry bag or plastic bag for transit, in case you have choppier conditions than I did. By the way, this company and Elding are exactly the same. I booked with Ambassador, but left from the Elding building.

Solo senior traveler has a thrilling adventure! - My experience with Ambassador Whale Watching was one of the highlights of my life. The staff members were warm and caring and really funny too especially Petur and Jerry.
I went on 3 different whale watches. We saw lots of whales up close and several breaches as well. The boat and ship crews were very experienced and safety conscious.(And funny too!) I laughed and enjoyed being so close to nature and to really good people. I guess like attracts like because all of the other travelers from all over the world were great too. I hope to return and do it all again.

Amazing! - Seriously folks if you are lucky enough to go to Iceland, go Whale watching. These people who run this are just the best. I went to Iceland for my birthday and I went Whale watching with 'Ambassador' in one of the Rig boats and boy I wasn't disappointed.
It was just WOW! but that doesn't really do it justice its more than that. The Captain was very conscience of the Whales and never once hassled them. Mary was our guide telling us all about the Whales and I can't praise her enough.
It was something that was on my bucket list, (although we did want to see the Northern Lights, but too cloudy)
It didn't disappoint! Truly amazing. Thank you to all the crew and Mary xxx
