Great Whale Watch! - Great Experience! We saw Orcas, Minkes and Humpbacks including a mother & her calf. The guide / announcer was exceptional. She spoke very clearly, was knowledgeable, & was an excellent spotter. We had a great time and certainly recommend them.

Great whales but no Puffins. - Nice boat. They worked hard to track the whales without upsetting them. The guide was great at pointing out the whales. We thought we would see Puffins because we went past Puffin Island. But we only saw “dots” that might have been Puffins.

Great start to our trip! - What a way to start our adventures in Iceland! The pickup spot was easy to find in the cute little restaurant on the harbor. We were able to see lots of whales and even a few puffins who were just starting to make their way to the area. Be prepared for the cold if you stay out on the deck…especially with waterproof gloves!

Whale Watching Review - It's a long ride back and forth. Bring a book or cards... at the time we took the excursion, there were very few whales. Could not even get pictures.
