Whales, Whales, Whales!!!! - A first class operation! A fabulous experience. It is amazing how many whales you can see so close to the capital city of Iceland, We had a ten-hour layover on our way to Spain and took advantage of the down time. The trip was well organized and the guide, Lucas, was amazing. Lucas was knowledgable and entertaining. Of course, the highlights of the trip were the whales. We briefly saw some Harbor Porpoises, had many views of Minke Whales, and a LONG, LEISURELY encounter with a massive Humpback Whale! WONDERFUL!!!

A whale of a time! - We went out in very cold and choppy waters, but the company provided seasickness tablets for you to take prior to boarding, and I have to say they worked! We were a little disappointed that conditions meant that although we did see two whales, we did not see much of them at all. The first whale we were chasing out to see and then the captain suddenly decided to leave that one because of the choppy waters. The minky whale we saw next didn't really show very much, but it was still an awesome experience. My only negative was that upon the return journey back to the port, the waves were so choppy that my husband fell to his knees, which scared me considerably as the boat really listed to the side.

Don’t waste your time or money! - At least we saw dolphins and little bits of a humpback whale. Unfortunately, the captain kept turning the prow toward the group of cetaceans, so only those at the front of the ship could see anything valuable. Considering the size and length of the broadside, I consider this very inconsiderate!! If the boat had been turned broadside to the group of cetaceans, pretty much everyone on board would have been guaranteed a very good self-seen view of the beautiful creatures. Considering that the business is all about the tourists and them having eyes on the whales, I was very disturbed that no one at Special Tours has thought to make viewing more accessible for those who are shorter, can’t handle the cold for long periods of time, can’t stand for long periods of time, start getting sick, or any and all other reasons. Plus, it’s just not fun to try cramming everyone into the prow for quick glimpses; so thoughtless and insensitive! I won’t ever recommend this tour or company! If you want to see whales with an enjoyable experience, go to Alaska!
