Overall rating

It was an incredibly beautiful experience. I could see the Northern Lights with the naked eye. And that was with a KP index of just 1-2. The guides are great and explain everything very precisely. Of course there is a risk of getting seasick, especially at night, as you hardly have a horizon to orient yourself by. But it is definitely worth it. Water is free and the other drinks and snacks on board are not that expensive either. All in all, both the Northern Lights and I can fully recommend the whale watching tour on this ship.

Great trip on the boat. It was a cloudy rainy night but we still held out hope for the Northern Lights and they came just at the end. The guide and staff were amazing at keeping the spirits of the passengers up! Well done!

A special thank you to seamus in the old harbour house who assisted us with rebooking a free second trip after we did not see the lights on our first night

Tour was very informative and fun. I learned a lot about Iceland and enjoyed myself along the way. Tour guide was warm and friendly. Highly recommend!

Great comms when it had to be rearranged due to weather. Good standard of wet weather clothing and we saw several humpback whales!
