Nice outing. Two whales were observed and a dolphin. Good explanations, friendly crew. - Nice outing in the fjord with a very stable boat so no risk of seasickness. 2 whales come very close. Sending photos after the release.

Glad We Did This - We booked this excursion through Viking Cruises. It was a short bus ride (about 2 minutes) from the ship to the tour. The tour guide had a degree in biology, which made the tour better. The boat held about 30 people. We rode out for about 45 minutes. The view out is beautiful. It is very cold. Gloves and a hat are a good idea. I was glad that I had those little packs that you crack and they get warm. The tour company has jumpsuits that you can use, which will keep you warm. You can also sit inside, but then you miss the whales. There were 4 boats in the same spot watching a group of whales that were swimming around. One of the whales jumped completely out of the water. That was very cool. Another whale come vertically out of the water and then slid back into the water. We saw plenty of whales and we were all happy.

Best day of our life! - We went whale watching in the Fjord on the sixth of February with a french group of students. We saw 6 Humpback's whales from very close by. They were curious and came towards the boat the Ambassador. It was a breathtaking encounter and some of the students were even crying so special was the encounter. Even the captain and the guide Ania were exited by this exceptional encounter. We got very professional guiding by Ania and for some students this was the best day of their life!! Thank you so much for this unforgettable whale watching trip❤️🐋❤️

A trip of a lifetime - After wanting a sighting of humpback whales for over 25 years, the feeling of an actual sighting cannot be put into words.

Great whale watching! - Really enjoyed our whale watching trip! We were able to see several humpback whales. The staff was very friendly and informative. They provided warm “jumpsuits” for us along with hot beverages. I would recommend this tour!

Minke whales and porpoises - The whale watching trip was some 3hours and we saw some whales. The guide told us alot about the sealife here. Boat was good. They told us there were some blankets, raincoats and overalls, but we found them a bit too late. It was really cold. Over all the experiense was good.

Whale hunting disappointment - We booked a whale hunting trip in Akureyri because we were informed that was the best way of seeing sea life. However if we had known the boat was only going to travel the same route as the Cruise ship then I wouldn't have booked it !! I know that we are in the laps of the gods with regards to whale/dolphin spotting and the staff on the boat were very knowledgeable about sea life & bird activities & in that aspect ot was a good trip. However having just cruised the same waters on the ship it eas a tad disappointingly. Sorry to give a rather negative view but those are my feelings

Saw no whales but the ship and crew were good - The ship and crew were fine and very knowledgeable. The only problem was we really saw no whales. Of course, that's always the chance you take, but that's why I gave it a 3 rating. The whale ship was docked extremely close to our NCL cruise ship so it was easy to get there by walking. The walk to the whale ship sponsored by the cruise line would have been a much longer walk.

Tour got cancelled - Tour gor canceled the day before for insufficient booking. We still got a refund so at least they are sincere.

Very poor whale watching experience - Very low quality tour experience. We did not see any whale or any dolphin but that s not all. The tour is very long (3.5 hours), looks like a ferry trip (no stop, very low interaction, just a non stop full gas loop around an island ) and not interesting (oral comments at the microphone on a old factory and a village but you stay very far from the coast so you don't see anything). For sure it must have been better if we had seen any whale but, anyway, for me it does not worth the very high price as the cruise is not very pleasant. In the end we had a voucher to do it again within 2 years - not sure at all we would do it again even if we had the opportunity to do it.
