Il classico Whale Watching originale di Reykjavik

This was s great tour with a knowledgeable guide. It was comfortable for all age groups with bathrooms on board and complimentary seasickness pills if needed. We saw 5 different whales and various birds. Such a cool experience. We even received pictures from the guide after the tour via email.

Booked last minute with Viator as we were chatting to some girls in the morning and they highly recommended doing it as they saw the whales and apparently this is the best time to see them. So, after a bit of admin on the go, we booked with Viator (my chosen app, as you get good deals, cash back for your next booking and the communication is excellent!) We wandered along to the harbour, found the Edling ticket office and exchanged our mobile voucher for tickets. We wandered along to the boat and as boarding was another 45 mins away, we wandered around the office boat where there is toilets, coffee, seating, whale watching clips, museum and a little shop! We boarded 15 minutes to leaving after a safety demonstration. All children under 13 have to wear life jackets and there are waterproof raincoats and some boiler suits to wear (yes, we had to do this and they were warm!) You are also offered sick sickness tablets which kick in after 30 minutes if you need them. Off we went and immediately started seeing a few minke whales, porpoise, dolphins and after an hour you could see the hump back whales. It was a bit wet and windy, but we had fun wearing the outfits! You can also sit in the indoor heated lounge with tables, chairs and a bar where you can buy all sorts of drinks. There is good commentating as you are on top deck and the staff are really helpful. We would definitely recommend going. We went out on the 5pm one, but the last one is 8pm. Total cost was £161.74 for the two of us.

Great tour with great guides and crew. It was even better that we got to see several animals— 2 types of whales, dolphins, puffins, and other birds.

We had a great time. Very nice boat ride. Unfortunately for us we did not get to see any whales on our trip. Operator offers a second chance on a later date which is very nice. If you're prone to to motion sickness, make sure you take a pill prior to boarding. They do offer before you get on the boat as the water is quite rough.

Fantastic experience, far better than I was expecting. We were made to feel very welcome, briefed properly, and treated to a running commentary which was entertaining, informative, and kept us on our toes. First class experience and highly recommended. Only 4 stars for value for money due to the Cruise Line pricing rather than direct.

Wrap up warm and be prepared for some rough waves. You will be offered outdoor overalls to protect you outside. Don’t be too disappointed if you do not see any whales as they will offer you a free return trip, so make sure you book at the start of your trip to be able to advantage of the offer.

We took a great trip out to see the whales. Overall, the ride out was great a little rough at times and very manageable. I appreciated the offered meds if necessary for sea sickness (not needed). We got to see four different times of whales on our tour. The guides were great and great views of such a stunning place, thank you !

Our first visit to Iceland, whale watching was a must, so we booked directly with Elding at the harbour in Reykjavik for a 1pm boat cruise that same day. I was hopeful but uncertain whether we would see anything, until . . . . . 40 minutes out from the harbour, our guide spotted a water spout not far ahead of us. A few seconds later, a beautiful humpback whale slowly broke the surface and after a gentle swim, slowly raised its glorious tail before descending back into the sea. This happened a few times and it was just breathtaking to think we were watching this magnificent creature so close to the boat. Turns out our guide took photos as well as us (for research purposes - our whale was later identified as Davy Jones II, famous in the area). This was great because we were told that when we came home, we could email Elding with the time and date of our trip and they would send us photos and information about our trip. We did this and what a fantastic set of photos we received (no charge for this) along with a detailed report of our trip. An amazing, ethical company. Definitely recommend.

What an amazing moment ! We saw several whales and dolphins, and we had the luck to see one of the whales jumping many times in front of us. It was a great tour.

I loved loved loved this tour. Had previously done it with a different company but I think I preferred this one: they seem to know what they're doing and they even recognize the different individuals you may encounter!! They are actively against whaling + have a petition for you to sign (which I love, since I find it strange to go whale watching and then support whale hunting (and the fact that they're vocal about it was great). Everyone was lovely and had a fantastic energy. Would do it again for sure.
