Our tour guide was... - Our tour guide was amazing but I forgot her name :( the boat ride alone was so much fun but added bonus that we saw a humpback whale, minke, and countless puffins. The suits they provide keep you completely warm and dry would definitely recommend and go again!

Excellent Whale Watching - What a fantastic trip! Our guide was very knowledgeable and truly had a passion for the marine life in the area. He knew where to find whales, but was not intrusive and was very respectful to them. We saw harbor porpoises, dolphins, and humpback and Minke whales! Would definitely recommend this experience – it was exciting and informative!

Awe Inspiring - We had some of the most inspiring moments of our trip on this boat. We saw many dolphins, a whale, and puffins. The guide gave us an incredible glimpse into the ocean world with his knowledge, and I felt very safe with such an experienced driver. It was an unbelievably beautiful experience.

Epic and unforgettable - 10 out of 10 We had the most epic time seven girlfriends on their first day in Iceland from America. Carol and Yoda made it absolutely magical. We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see two whales and a pod of dolphins frolicking and playing. They know how to find whales, explain to what you’re seeing and make the trip an all around unforgettable Iceland moment.

TA glitch, getting a refund takes longer than the tour! - We wished to cancel this booking, well outside of the 24 hours allowed, and the Trip Advisor link in the email, the website, the app said error, not allowed. Emailed the tour operator and they said, noted, but we had to cancel with TA.
So now I get to deal with this on my return. I MHO, book thru Viator ( owned by TA) as the experience is better.
