A day to remember - We had a brilliant morning, the guide and crew were amazing, we got to see dolphins, minke whales and a humpback whale, it was very cold so wrap up warm and definitely use the free suit they offer but definitely worth it.

Amazing experience - We booked the whale watching tour for our first full day of the trip and even though sea sickness hit, we had an amazing experience. We were warned that the waters would be a bit choppy beforehand and were asked if we required tablets which I gratefully accepted (although I would recommend taking two instead of one!) The tour itself lasted around 3 hours and we were lucky enough to see a fair few whales in that time. The guides provided a lot of information, even able to give you timings of when the whales would reappear after diving down. The scenery was also absolutely beautiful and provided the most spectacular backdrop. Warm, waterproof overalls are provided on board that you are welcome to wear on top of your layers to keep extra warm, food and drink are available to buy and there are toilet facilities on board. I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely brave the sickness to go again!

Fantastic tour & customer service - Amazing! The guide was extremely knowledgeable about whales and kept the group entertained. We happened to see lots of humpback whales, which was a surreal experience. I had issues with my flights to Reykjavík, and the company was willing to reschedule my reservation twice, even though it was past the 24 hour cancellation policy. I would highly recommend this tour and the company!

Must do while in Reykjavik - You *have* to go on these tours expecting to see nothing: this is nature, it’s not controlled & captive. Despite knowing this, I was hopeful … and my hopes were met! We saw LOADS of Minke whales about an hour in to the cruise, and then a little later two Humpback whales. More Minke on the way back. Lucas was an excellent nature guide; and the crew on the Andrea were fantastic.

Wow!!!!! Whales - We were on the Andrea- with our guide Patrick. We were fortunate to see several humpback whales at the begin and end of the tour. With porpoises and Minke sightings in between. Patrick was knowledgeable and funny. He was quick to let us know where to look and filled travel time with fun facts or comical tidbits. The quick information on whale bones was great too! Would absolutely recommend this experience.

Amazing Experience - So glad we did this amazing trip with Reykjavik Sailors booked with Viator. The tour guide was so informative and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. Credit to the Captain too who did not disappoint us by locating Minky, Whales, Humpback Whales, Dolphins and Puffins. The ship was very clean and we felt safe at all times. It was very easy to book with Viator and locate the office at the dock and then the boat, again friendly welcoming staff. Refreshments on board were great too. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and we would highly recommend booking with Reykjavik Sailors
