Miro our guide was excellent. He made sure we were all dressed appropriately for the weather. Saw lots of whales, we kept following the whales through the tour. Gave lots of information. Would highly recommend.
We had a great time on the Gentle Giants Big Whale Safari. We saw Polly the humpback whale 10 minutes into our tour and our guide and captain did a phenomenal job making sure we were as close as possible for well over an hour. We also saw 5-6 harbor porpoises and took in the beautiful landscape surrounding Husavik. I would definitely recommend this RIB boat tour.
