I think we were unlucky as it was raining and cold and all we saw were dolphins, which we have seen better elsewhere. A fun or two were spotted but nothing to be able to say we had seen whales!
I originally booked a tour to go out on the larger "Amelia Rose" yacht with Harpa Yachts from Reykjavik. However, due to low passenger numbers, we were downgraded and moved onto their smaller boat, "Harpa". While downsizing is understandable, the way the captain handled this smaller vessel completely ruined the trip for me and violated ethical wildlife guidelines.Once two humpback whales were spotted, the driver continuously drove directly toward them instead of maintaining a respectful parallel distance. Every time the whales surfaced to breathe, the boat closed in tightly so that the loud, revving engine forced them into sudden, early dives to escape. Ultimately, our boat repeatedly sailed directly over the exact footprints where the whales had just submerged. Another vessel was nearby doing the exact same thing, creating a highly stressful environment for the animals.Slowing down slightly does not excuse cutting off a whale's path or driving right over them. I love marine life and researched carefully to support a responsible operator. I am deeply disappointed that animal welfare was disregarded for a close-up photo. I cannot recommend this company to ethical travelers. In the flip side. The guide (Anna) was lovely. Very helpful and hardworking
Nice experience if I come back to Iceland in the future I will definitely book again. Seen a lot of Whale and dolphins ( super )
Older boat. Good guide. Talked enough but not too much. Got to see whales up close. Dress for the weather it can get cold on the water. Enjoyed the trip.
Really an experience! We saw both whales and dolphins. Very nice guide and cozy boat. I'm glad we could go in when the wind was cold. Highly recommended!
The crew was very accommodating and friendly, we saw multiple whales and porpoises, waterfowl and beautiful scenery.

Er saw whales, dolphins and puffins, great day
The company advertised a really nice smaller boat and put us on a very large and very slow boat. It always seemed like they were a step behind all the other whale watching boats and would need to catch up in order to see the whales before they dove back underwater. We got a couple brief sightings whereas the boats that were earlier to the feeding grounds had much more time and more sightings, and traveled to and from the harbor faster.
We had a great time. Such a beautiful place and saw lots of whales. Can’t wait to go back again someday.
