Brilliant Whale Watching Experience! - Brilliant Experience! Can definitely recommend Whale Watching Akureyri. I went mid-October, which is I think is a good time to go. The whales are feeding up ready for their migration so you've got an excellent chance of seeing them. I did the motor boat excursion which was a lot fun and maybe gives you a bit more flexibility in locating the whales. You get provided with all the equipment you need but would suggest wrapping up warm, including something to put across your lower face as it gets very cold with the wind chill. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had and I now feel I know a lot more about whales than I did beforehand. A highlight of my trip to Iceland.

Sighting of cetaceans - Discovering cetaceans in their natural environment, and listening to the explanations of their way of life is fundamental to continue caring for the planet. A unique experience.

Great whale watching tour at a fantastic cost. - Fantastic experience. We saw many humpback whales. The guide was very knowledgeable of whales and made the tour both fun and filled with lots of learning about the whales and the region of Akureyri, Iceland. We had fantastic weather so we did not need the overalls, raincoats or blankets. Really enjoyed getting the photos that the guide and the crew took and sent to us when the tour ended.

Misleading - The picture is not the same as what we experience. We were never given clothes like the picture and were never this close to any whales. It was misleading,
