This was a two-part tour and both were amazing! Our guide for the Puffin tour knew A LOT about puffins and was very thoughtful and engaging. Our guide for the Whale Watching tour was excellent at sighting whales and so we enjoyed an afternoon of frolicking humpback whales. This tour was worth the price we paid and I would highly recommend it!

Whales close by the boat.
What more to expect, seeing a Minky and three Humpack Whales besides Harbour Porpoise up close.
For bird lovers there are different kond of seagulls and gunnets.

Great Nature Trip for a reasonable price
This was a great trip. We saw four whales and some dolphins. It was beautiful weather too. We lucked out. No puffins but we didn't expect to see them on this kind of big boat anyway. We saw the whales bubble netting and overall there was a lot of action. I usually get sea sick but I took two bonine. It was rough and rocky but much less so than in Monterey california. I recommend this trip highly. Its a nice boat with food and comfortable areas. I never went inside at all and sat on the top deck becasuse there was constant action.

Hello,
We're delighted to hear that you had such an incredible trip. Seeing four whales, dolphins, and even witnessing bubble-net feeding is truly a special experience and one that many wildlife enthusiasts dream of seeing.
It's wonderful that the weather cooperated and that there was so much activity throughout the tour. We're also pleased to hear that you found the boat comfortable and enjoyed the onboard facilities, even though the wildlife kept you happily occupied on the top deck the whole time!
Thank you for sharing your seasickness tips with future travellers as well. Sea conditions can vary, but we're glad you were able to enjoy the excursion comfortably.
Best regards,

A majestic experience
Highly recommend. If you want to experience the local wildlife, the puffins are adorable and seeing whales is so majectic, just a magical day out on the ocean. Also, your ticket gets you a discount at many places around the old harbour so eating or more sightseeing.

A Whale of a Time 🐳🐋🐳
Two tours, great guides, awesome Icelandic Ocean Adventure. Kids were super excited to see whales in the open water, and they weren't disappointed. Saw one whale about 15 meters away as she emerged for air before diving with a splashy tail.
Second tour with Joe was equally awesome with an up close and personal visit to a community of Puffins.
Kids loved the binoculars and thought they were super cute.
Both tours were informative, educational,guide were fantastic.
Also got cheeky discount on whales of Iceland museum admission with our tour ticket and another discount at the cafe!
Thank you all, we had a whale of a time 🐳🐋🐳

Mixed Day
Bummer that the weather didn’t cooperate and the whales didn’t either. But the info Patrick shared along the way was interesting and funny. The Puffin tour was a success, got to see lots of the birds. Tour operator has binoculars for participants to use if the chose to do so. I wished they had a speaker for those of us sitting outside. Could not hear the guide or captain well enough.
