レイキャビク ホエール ウォッチングと溶岩ショー

This is two separate tours. The first one we went to Whale watching. It’s a very large boat. We were able to see whales, and I loved that! Highly recommend going to the top of the deck and at the front of the ship, get early to get a good spot. Almost all of the time, the whales were spotted in the front of the ship. It definitely seemed like when the people in the back spotted something they would turn around so the front could see. As someone stuck in the back, your view then becomes limited. We were still able to see and get good photos just running around a lot. That’s also just how it works sometime with nature. Dress warm and bring gloves. There is a gap in time from the whales to the lava show and they are not close to each other. The lava show is cool. Be careful booking it same day as you land. The dim lights, the warmth of the lava… you’ll get real tired. They do a good job at explaining and showing different scenarios. Again, It just feels realllly nice and warm after a long sleepless flight. 😅 It was a great experience overall!

Whale watching tour was excellent. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative. The crew were able to locate dolphins and whales getting us close for optimal viewing.

Such a great time for both. Saw 3 different whales on the cruise with a super knowledgeable guide, and the lava show was the icing on the cake. Very unexpected and fun filled day.

Absolutely fantastic tour! The host was amazing! Cracking jokes and being very kind in general! Saw sperm and minke whales! Also the man made lava with super heated lava rock and not iron as I had assumed! Excellent tour!

The whale watching was quite a success. We were able to see puffins, dolphins, and a couple different types of whales. Our guide also shared a bunch of information about whales. It was very informative. I highly suggest this excursion. The reason I knocked this to four stars instead of five was because the lava show was a mile walk away. We were not informed of that. Also, we did not know what time to be at the lava show. We walked all the way over there only to find out that we had about two hours to grab lunch. We had to walk a half mile to find a lunch spot which is fine, but if we knew we had more time, we would’ve eaten somewhere else. With that said, the lava show is also very good. It was a fun way to learn more about volcanoes in an up close manner.

Great boat trip, we didn't have to go very far before we spotted some whales, which was exciting to see! Our guide had been seeing the whales for the last couple days, so we were lucky they knew where to go. Then you need patience (and warm clothes) to keep watching for them, as they dive down & come back up. The boat stayed out longer, to keep watching the whales. IT was a lovely cold & clear day and even got to see a glascier that the locals dont get to see much! The only think I was disappointed in was we booked the lava show with this - and we had to make our own way to this and so the people at boat check in didn't really bother or concern themselves with us booking this at the same day. They didn't know the times the lava show was on. So we looked ourselves online and then walked along to the place (around 15-20mins walk) and used our google maps to get there (as new years eve was hard to get taxis). Lava show when checked in was so easy and people super pleasant & helpful, great bar here (which warmed us up nicely) & souvenir shop had lots of cool & interesting items to buy! The person who did our Lava presentation was great" She seemed to love it and was really informative was lots of interesting & fun facts - on volcanoes & iceland! So enjoyable and not like any other experience uou can have anywhere else in the world!!

I went with my brother and this was a great package deal for our last day in Iceland. It allowed us to have a bit of a later start to the day and gave us plenty of time to get back later to the hotel to pack for our early morning flight back home. We started with the lava show and were lucky to be in a small group, having front row seats to the show and the opportunity to ask lots of questions. The host for the show was super passionate and knowledgeable. Although the weather was a bit rainy and gloomy for the whale watching it still was a super experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, offering windbreaker jackets to stay warm and checked up on everyone throughout the trip. We saw a variety of sea life with the host talking us through each spotting and what it was we were seeing. The length of time was good enough to make sure we saw a variety of things and increase the opportunity to see something, whilst not being too long that you were wanting to head back to land. In the return journey Iceland was hidden by a wall of fog and there was something quite indescribable to be following the seabirds back to port, slowly watching as Iceland broke through the fog and the harbour became visible. Overall, a great value experience package and I would recommend for anyone to do, with friends family or as a solo traveler!

The most ugly thing: we did Not see whales!!!! It was the reason of our trip to Iceland. First of all, you cancelled the event, the day I scheduled and paid for. And then only saw water
