I have whale watched in California, Florida, North Carolina, and Alaska USA. They were all absolutely great, a whale watch is never a bad time, but Elding was PHENOMENAL. Every aspect, from booking to docking back was easy and smooth. If you don't see any cetaceans, or you only see one or two, they give you a voucher that is good for two years for you to come back. They then told the most charming story that I will not spoil. You'll have to book yourself and see. Do yourself a favor and buy a hot chocolate with cream.
Everyone was so nice, the crew was interactive knowledgeable and hilarious. We saw Humpbacks and Minke whales. They worked hard to ensure we got to see as much as they could find while still being respectful of the wildlife and their boundaries. But the best part is they send you free downloadable pictures of the animals you saw during your tour, so you don’t have to worry about not catching good pictures. Highly recommend.
What an amazing experience, we booked a Whale watching experience at short notice, following our original provider cancelling and gave the cancellation reason - bad weather, which did not seem to be the case, since Elding were providing a Whale Watching experience and the weather was acceptable. A very professional service was provided and we an amazing experience and had the opportunity to see Humpback & Minke Whales and White Beaked Dolphins, what an amazing experience and definitely definitely recommend. An experience not to be missed.
We had the opportunity to experience whale watching on Elding Whale Watching boat tour. The trip was fantastic. The tour guide narrated the sitings and gave background information on the type of whales and was excited and enthsiatic. I would highly recommend them. I had a great time and I know my group of fellow travelers agreed. We saw so many whales it was amazing. Thank you so much. The best whale watching tour I have even been on.
Awesome experience. We had a family of five, and I was a touch concerned about "not seeing land", but we were not that far off the coast. We all sorts of whales, dolphins, sea puffins, etc! It was a great trip, and our guide was really knowledgeable. I was able to ask her a bunch of questions, and learn a lot about whales that I never knew! Our photos were great, and she sent us her photos as well. I'd highly recommend if you're spending time in Reykjavik!
