Great trip - Saw several hunch back whales. Great staff. It was very cold when we went but cozy inside of boat. Would recommend this trip. Were fitted in last minute when our other whale watching trip was canceled.

Incredible memorable beautiful - Been a dream of mine to see humpbacks and knew it was not a guarantee, as with any wildlife, but we not only saw one but 4, 2 sets of 2 and the guide said they must be enjoying the boats as they were right next to us, kept diving down then popping back back, had the best time. Didn’t get the yacht we actually booked, which was a bit annoying but still had the best experience possible.

BEAUTIFUL - A beautiful moment! 3 hours cruise aboard the Amélia Rose to "hunt" whales and dolphins. We did not have time to see the dolphins but the whales were there! After a short course on the different types of whales available, on rough seas and cold wind, it is necessary to try to maintain its balance on the boat and spot a small geyser, characteristic sign that a whale will surface to breathe. Once on the water, we could stay there for hours!

Wonderful morning on the water! - The Whale Watching Cruise was so much fun! The staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable, and we saw several humpback whales and a bunch of puffins. Highly recommend!

Small city, rugged beautiful scenery. - Center Hotel, Smiojustigur. Basic, clean & centre of main drag. Golden Circle Tour taking in Geyser, waterfall and rift valley- 150 miles, 7 hours and great scenery. Sky Lagoon - sublime walking around up to your neck in warm water with a glass of beer (but @ £10 per glass) and nice views with sauna after. Wanted to go whale watching but called off due to rough conditions. Reykjavik - lots of bars, restaurants and quite lively in evening. Food and drink expensive. Card payment usual. Tipping not expected. Locals friendly and nearly everyone speaks English.

Average - Sighting from around 100m-150m far so not a great experience for the price. Smaller boats were getting much closer.

Bad Weather Caused Three Days of Cancellation - This is not a complaint against the company. It was a terrible experience because bad weather led to cancellation on three successive days.
