Traveler reviews
Great experience
Exactly what we were looking for, adventure and whale watching. Successful for both. Highly recommend.
Wonderful captain and guide. Eager to please and make whale watch a success.
Friendly staff. Crew was eager to please and tried in their hardest way to navigate a successful sighting for us.
Humpback whale watching
Had a fabulous time on this RIB whale watching experience. We saw a humpback whale which was amazing. Everything you need is provided and our guide was very knowledgeable.
Amazing!!
We saw orcas, humpbacks, and porpoises! A humpback was breeching repeatedly and slapping her fin. Guide and driver were kind and skilled. Gear kept us warm even in the wind and a bit of rain. Just book it. It was the highlight of our Iceland trip!
Great, but!
Everything about this trip was great. We booked it several months ago in the US. The captain/narrator was great. The only problem was we only saw one whale and many only saw its tail or maybe totally missed it. And that was the purpose of the excursion! It was still fun. The RIB experience was new to us, snd fun. Just, we didn’t see very many whales.
