We saw some lights and Armann was amazing. It seems many people on other tours weren’t so lucky but I think it was our guides local knowledge that nailed it for us. What’s more we had a running commentary about the old Gods and local history that was fascinating. I would do this tour again.

Huge Thank you- Takk Fyrir to Totti, Hrolfur and Belen for one of the best experiences in my life! Belen, an expert in love with nature, during the tour despite interpreting the whale activities, was covering all the questions that were coming up out of curiosity about the location and Iceland in general. And even though at the beginning of the tour it seemed to be quiet, thanks to the Captain's huge amount of years of experience and knowing precisely whales' behaviour and several showing up locations- lead us to extraordinary experience of watching several whales communicating by unique way of displaying their body language, such as waving flukes and flippers. Also, one of them appeared at breathtaking distance from the ship just to take some deep breaths before diving in for food and Captain suggested to wait a bit longer, as he knew that this same whale will appear again in several minutes..and it was worth the wait! Generally, would like to give a huge reminder for everyone who is seeking to meet those gorgeous giants that this is not a show per your request, during whale watching tour you might get to see a lot of whales, but also you might get to see none of them. This depends purely on natural activities and factors. Go with this risk and don't get disappointed if you won't see any, go the next time, it's fine.
