Brilliant. Small enough boat to be nimble, big enough not to get seasick. A really great experience, with an excellent guide and team, and a boat with all the facilities - the blankets were a nice touch. We saw whales and dolphins. There are plenty of other whale watching options from Reykjavík, bus I’d really recommend this one.
