Highlighted reviews from other travelers
we saw a humpback whale and a Minke whale and some puffins. we enjoyed it, but stayed surprisingly close to Reykjavik. All the boats were in the same spot so it was crowded, but very enjoyable.
Didn’t see many whales that day but obviously that’s not on the company. The yacht was lovely and clean. The people were lovely and helpful

- The tour length varies, the whales may be close to the harbor or far out to sea so the tour length can be between 2.5-hours to 3.5-hours
