What a great few hours, definitely worth the money. Our guide was truly passionate and made spotting the whales very fun and informative. She also knew exactly what to do when my partner was feeling sea sick. Highly recommend!

What an experience!! I saw humpback whales for the first time in my life, and it was absolutely unreal. They are extraordinary animals, and even the guides, who see them every day, had pure joy on their faces when they spotted them again! A truly special event, and I recommend everyone to go see these amazing animals. Since we were there in August, it was also the last weeks when you can still see puffins — the iconic birds of Iceland — which was great, because until then I had only seen them on TV. The place was easy to find, everything was clearly explained, we waited for our group’s time, they gave us clothing, instructed us, and we boarded the boat. The boat is super safe — just be prepared for a bit of sea water in your face if you sit on the outer side 😄
