Nice tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable and so exited to share a little bit of Iceland with us. They give you a suit but bring gloves and ha hat and warm clothes for underneath.
Amazing bucket list experience! The tour was very well organized and the RIB boat is the way to do whale watching! We got to see 3 whales and spend over and hour watching them feed and the view from the RIB boat was spectacular. The crew was really great and provided us with a lot of good information about the whales. Highly recommend this tour out of Husavik!
The trip with rib boat was very good. But unfortunately we didn't see anything worth mentioning. As a result, our ticket was stamped that we could go again. Couldn't unfortunately toe rib boat the next day. And our time was limited so we went on a normal boat. That was a lesser experience due to the high numbers of passengers. Even then only one whale was spotted and there were 6+ boats on top of that which I did not experience as pleasant for the whale.
We were on the zodiac boat and didn't see many thing when seated at the rear with tall people in front of us as we needed to stay seated. We can't ear the explications of the guide because she spoke specially for people in front. And we stayed far from puffin and whales (we saw few)
Equipment was spot on - kept us warm. The captain did his best to find some bigger whales but no joy - we did see smaller whales close to shore. The rib was great fun regardless.
Wonderful experience! We saw multiple whales and pods of playful dolphins. Definitely layer and wear gloves and a hat, it’s cold on the water 😊
We had a fantastic time on the Big Whales & Puffin Island Speedboat Tour in Húsavík! The speedboat ride was exciting, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made the experience both fun and informative. We were lucky enough to see incredible whales and Puffin Island was full of adorable puffins. The smaller speedboat made the experience feel much more personal and allowed for amazing views. The provided gear kept us warm and comfortable throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Húsavík, this tour is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended!
Efficiently run operation. Everything works smoothly. Great communication regarding modifications including adaptations for weather conditions. Equipment is in excellent condition. Well informed and experienced crew.
It amazes me how they have transformed their industry to whale watching tourism, i highly recommend to everybody who cares about the animal wellfare, the environment and whales wellbeing!
Saw puffins, dolphins, and Whales. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Used our tickets for a discount at Geosea
