We went on a northern lights tour. It was a cloudy night but Rebekah still shared interesting facts and pointed out Jupiter in the sky while we waited to hopefully see the lights. What impressed me most is the northern lights made their appearance right as we were scheduled to head back to shore, and the crew let us stay out extra time so we could see them. Truly made my trip perfect!
Although the water was a bit rough, we had a wonderful cruise. The staff was very attentive, friendly and professional. The ride to the whale watching area was ~ 30 minutes. We saw quite a few dolphins and whales. I even captured a small shark. The cruise also passed out motion sickness pills. They also have a small snack area you can purchase food, drinks and coffee. Overall it was a great experience.
I did the puffin tour and it was a great experience. Although we didn’t get to step foot on the island we got to view them from a close distance. The commentator was very funny and he was very nice. If you’re feeling brave you can sit on the very top of the boat. All in all I recommend this trip for sure.
Booked a tour and had an amazing time. The staff and crew were friendly and very helpful. They have suits on board for the cold and rain. They also have refreshments. Our guide Celina was was very informative and helped us spot many humpback whales as well as white beak dolphins. We were able to watch the whales feeding and got very close to one as it surfaced right beside the ship. Would definitely recommend for any tour!!
I did the puffin tour! The Laos up was quick and the bait was nice and cute. Our guide was very knowledgeable about puffins! She was funny and nice! Answered all our questions and knew a lot about what the puffins might do next. Our boat driver was also funny! I really appreciated that they made sure to follow coast guard rules for boating near these amazing animals! They gave us binoculars to use and it was great! Unless you have a really good camera I recommend taking a few photos and then putting your phone away because your photos will not be as good as seeing them in person. You can struggle to put up binoculars in front of your camera lens like I did but wouldn’t recommend lmao. I would say go on this tour! It was great!
