It rained it was cold and... - It rained it was cold and it was one of the best whale tours ever. Saw several whales feeding, which is a behavior that was on my list. Got a couple of great pictures. Lovely boat and a good experience.

Amazing! - Just had the most amazing whale watching experience. The spotter, Lucky, was extremely knowledgeable about all marine life and made the whole experience really interesting. We saw so many more whales than I imagined possible. There was an amazing group of 5 Humpbacks really close to the boat, minky whales and a huge endangered Fin whale made several appearances. The boat was spacious, clean and comfortable with plenty of opportunities for everyone to see the whales. Would highly recommend this trip, it made our holiday.

Absolutely amazing day! - We went out on this boat with the captain and Claudia. They were both so interesting to listen to and we saw many whales thanks to their knowledge to spot them. The boat is beautiful and had an indoor area where you could go if you got cold and also a restroom. We had a wonderful time. Would highly suggest doing this instead of being crammed on a boat with a bunch of people.

- Even the crew was surprised at how many whales and dolphins there were. The captain kept the ship in perfect position and the spotter was giving excellent directions on where to look. It was the hi light of our week in Iceland.

Thought it was going to be a smaller group - The photos made it seem like there would only be 25-30 people on the boat. There were more like 100. Tour was nice and we saw whales but was thinking it was going to be smaller. In hindsight would go with the smaller dingy type boats- faster and get much closer.

Maybe not a good time of year? - Barely saw the back of one humpback in a three hour cruise that was ice cold in July. Not much fun for sure
