This whale-watching experience was the family favorite during our 10-day northern lights cruise. Being on the boat in the middle of an Icelandic fjord was amazing by itself, but we had multiple whale sightings that were so much fun! The hot chocolate and cookies were such a welcome treat, too! The staff took great care of us, and we definitely recommend this wonderful experience!

First you board a bus to the location of the whale watching boats. You are fitted with a full wind suit and the. Aboard the boat in a lake where the whales come in and out. It is not in open seas so the water is very calm. Did get to see some whales. Hot chocolate was a warm treat.

Trip went like clockwork, pick up on time too. Boat was nice and we were given waterproof clothes to wear. We saw whales so we were really pleased with that. The trip overall was great and we had a wonderful day. Viator even sorted out a refund for me because we were on a cruise and the ships WiFi was spotty making me book the wrong trip but I was helped very quickly by Viator and they sorted everything out for me, it was a relief for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again because of the excellent customer service, the ease of the trips and the quick response to questions, well done Viator.

The trip was well worth it. Saw sooo many humpbacks and really close too although they bit may be due to luck and the season. Staff is friendly and impressionable and know what they're doing.

The boat was VERY full. This meant that it was difficult to see over all the people in order to see the whales.

Hi
During the busy summer season our biggest boat carry up to 72 guests. It is much less than our competition in the area as they have same size boats and carry up to 98 guests.
That being said the boats are quite crowded. But we try to give everyone a change to have good look and stop for over an hour to experience and photograph the whales. That should give everyone change to have good access to witnessing these majestic creatures. We also offer Coffee and home baked treats so our guests can take a break and allow others to see them better.
We will take your review to heart and strive to allow better access to all our guests.

We had an amazing time and above average whale watching experience!
The cookies and warm drinks were appreciated!

Finding the meeting point was an easy walk from the cruise port (5 minutes) the boat was a little late due to a delayed of previous tour .
But it was all worth it we were taken to 3 spots where the whales usually are and wow we got to see one up close!!!! Highly recommend this tour . Good prices and service

It was wonderful! We saw several whales, a puffin, and a few porpoise. The ship was not overcrowded either.
Staff was terrific!

Highly recommended. The owner of the business ran the tour along with some other friendly people and is experienced and knowledgeable and truly enjoys his work.
