Awesome tour, totally uncomplicated. A fantastic experience! And we of course saw whales too
Staff made sure we had a great time, was considerate of whales space and allowed is to get several sightings.
Wow. We saw whales up close. The RIB boat is so much fun. Overall great experience -would highly recommend. RIB boats are the best way to see whales!
Great experience and our guide Jana was so knowledgeable about the animals. I would recommend this to anyone.
We had a fantastic trip all the staff were so friendly and helpful. I was a bit concerned about the suits you have to put on as I'm quite a big guy but they had a range of sizes that fitted well im probably a uk 3xl/4xl and fitted fine if anyoneis worried! We did manage to see several different whales and was such a unique opportunity to get so close to these amazing creatures. 10 out of 10 would do it again in a heartbeat. Great trip fantastic crew Thank you so much for this amazing experience
Loved this RIB experience saw minke and humpback plus porpoises Well organised check in. Plenty of suit options and whole process was efficient. RIB was great as only seated 12 so great views from all seats which were motorbike style so you sit astride them. Started off seeing porpoise then a number of minke whales feeding. Headed further up the fjord and saw humpbacks - amazing. Stopped to look at the hot waterfall on the way back which was really “cool”
Absolute fabulous experience. Staff extremely helpful answering my pre-activity questions. Meeting point very easy to find. Suiting up process was well organised - lots of sizes of suits available. RIB was superb - holds 12 people and you sit/stand on motorbike style seats which was very comfortable. Loved the speed of the RIB but also the ability to cover a greater area looking for whales. Our trip started with porpoises, quickly followed by playful minke whales busy feeding and ended with the awesome humpbacks. Our guide Anna and captain Karen were both superb at spotting the whales and getting us positioned to see them
You simply have to experience riding on the RIB boat. The woman shared many interesting stories. I can highly recommend the tour.
We had the most amazing experience. Being on the RIB boat was very fun on its own, but we saw the most amazing whale show with Humpbacks all around our boat. One of the highlights of our time in Iceland.
Had a great whale trip, our rib boat was only half full so we were spaced out so everyone always had a great view. The captain and guide were knowledgeable and clearly loved what they do. We saw some harbour porpoise, some minke whale from further afield and a humpback whale. We spent a great amount of time with the humpback, getting up close but without disturbing it and making it uncomfortable- unlike another company who were out there and it felt like they were chasing it which was really sad as the whale then kept deep diving to get away. This is a beautiful location and great trip that was a highlight of our trip around Iceland. Definitely recommend.
