I love being able to boast I've seen whales in the Arctic Ocean! - It was a fun experience and one we will not forget. We got to see 4-5 whales which is unusual for this late in the year (October). Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about spotting the whales and eager for those on the tour to see and enjoy observing them, too. The captain and guide were safety conscious and watchful that all their guests were doing well and having a good time. It was cold! The tour provides suits (worn over all clothing and outerwear) for additional comfort and safety but our feet were pretty numb by the end of the tour (this is the Arctic, after all). Wear warm socks and gloves and use hand and foot warmers for better comfort.

5 Whales and Pod of Porpoises - 3 humpback whales and 2 fin whales with a pod of porpoises spotted on our way back to Husavik! Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a really great experience overall. I booked this tour appreciating that the company is committed to safe whale watching practices and it stood out among other options for that reason. Would recommend!

Amazing experience - Thank you so much for allowing us to witness this beautiful humpback whale! Brilliant guide and captain, very friendly, knowledgeable and informative… plus they really respected the whales and allowed us to watch without encroaching on their space. Word of warning… it gets rocky out there… take travel sickness tablets!!

A wonderful, safe adventure! - We were fortunate to see 2 whales very close to our ship for a significant length of time. Our leader helped us understand what the whales were doing. Commentary was very friendly and knowledgeable, but also at all times for us humans, very thorough about safety and comfort.

Wonderful tour - We really liked the observation tour. We could see humpback whales! The treatment of the whales was very respectful. A certain distance was always maintained and waited for the animals to approach by themselves, which they then did. There was always information about the whales during the trip. A really very successful tour!

Amazing experience - It was an amazing experience. We were lucky to see at least 6 whales . The oversuit was nice and more than necessary. You need to take warm gloves and a hat including a scarf and something to cover your mouth . Under the suit , keep your warm jacket and were long John’s , warm socks and a good pair of shoes warm and waterproof. At the end the crew offered us hot chocolate and a cinnamon bun .
