Fantastic Way to End a Day in Reykjavík
This tour was awesome! We traveled first to the island where the puffins hang out and then went out and saw TONS of humpbacks. We were very lucky to find a good feeding area and even saw two humpbacks working together to catch the fish. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the pilot did a great job coming about to give us great views. A few tips:
-Bring binoculars if you want to see the puffins really well.
-Either take in advance or use the offered meclizine if you get seasick, the waters can be rough.
-Dress warmly with a waterproof outer layer, or use the gear they offer to cover up. It can be very cold on the water.
Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience but be careful of the sea conditions
The sea was quite choppy. At check-in, they told us that the day was not the best for the trip and that we could cancel or postpone it. We still decided to take the evening tour to see the whales. Indeed, it was quite difficult. The boat was rocking a lot and there were waves that kept slamming us from side to side. Not recommended if you suffer from seasickness or if you are afraid of rough seas. I suffered quite a bit even though the experience was incredible: many whales even close to the boat, it was an amazing sight.

Hello,
We're glad that our team informed you about the sea conditions before departure and offered you the option to postpone or cancel the tour. Guest safety and comfort are very important to us, and we always try to provide as much information as possible when weather and sea conditions are less than ideal.
We're sorry to hear that you found the crossing challenging. As you experienced, sea conditions in the North Atlantic can sometimes be rough, and the movement of the boat may be uncomfortable for guests who are sensitive to motion or are not used to travelling on the open sea.
That said, we're delighted to hear that the wildlife sightings made the trip worthwhile. Seeing numerous whales, including some very close to the boat, is truly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of visiting Iceland.
Thank you for joining us despite the conditions, and we hope that if you visit again, you'll have the opportunity to experience the bay on a calmer day. 🐋🌊💙
Best regards,
Reykjavik Sailors
