Amazing whale tour!! - Amazing tour!!! We seen 4 humpback whales in total, and even got to see the tail of banana. The weather was very smooth and our guide was very very approachable. I took a sea sickness tablet prior to the tour which worked wonders. The views were amazing too, just make sure to wrap up warm.

Amazing experience! - I recently took a trip in Iceland that was fantastic from start to finish. One of my tours was this whale watching tour which was easy to find the location, which made the whole experience stress-free. The staff on board were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even offered free sickness tablets, which was a thoughtful touch. There was plenty of food, drinks, and merchandise available for purchase during the trip. The crew made sure to point out every direction to spot the whales, being very thorough with all the facts and information they shared. They also take photos of the whales themselves and publish them on their website which you can access for free. Overall, it was a well-organised and enjoyable trip with excellent service throughout.

A hoax - A hoax. We only saw one whale in the distance as soon as we left. We stayed two hours inside the boat without seeing anything. I understand that they are animals and it is unpredictable but I have informed myself and at this time it is very difficult to see whales in that area because it is not time so they should not do the tour since they know that sightings are impossible but they do them to take people's money. A real disappointment
