Excellent experience!! The boat moves, but you have to hold on tight. For me, the best part is the back of the boat, it moves less and the captain is very skilled so it is possible to see whales from anywhere on the boat. But without a doubt the best thing is the exhibition of the whales, it seemed incredible to me to see them in real size.

This was much more eventful than whale watching I've done on the east coast of the US. We were fortunate to have several whale sightings some within a few hundred feet from the boat. Dress for colder temperatures and stronger wind than on land. Our captain pointed the boat straight at whales that we sighted so position yourself to have a good forward view vs. picking one side of the boat or the other. We saw humpbacks and minke whales. I was hoping to see orcas but I learned later than orcas do not frequent these waters because their prey do not live in this area. The Whales of Iceland exhibit was a nice add-on and a great way to visualize the true size of these animals. It's worth a visit and we were in/out in under an hour.

Like all excursions in Iceland (at least the ones I've done), you can trust the description, and go there safely! The organization is great. The reception too. Bad luck for us, no whales, but it's a risk worth taking. If we go back, we'll try again (it's free). You should still know that it is almost inevitable to get seasick, never mind, you are provided with tablets on board. Thanks a lot! Attention, from 12 years old only. For my children, it was not easy suddenly …. (and for the children: no combinations to be warm provided, just a life jacket) Small detail too: the guide speaks and it is broadcast in small speakers, I never managed to be placed in a place, to hear what she was saying… and it was probably interesting! Shame. There are really a lot of us on board, so it's normal that it's necessarily quite impersonal.
