Punctual departure and arrival times. We had the opportunity to see the humpback whales up close, we could almost touch them. They lent us suits to protect us from the cold and the water and offered us a hot chocolate. The guide was very good. Fantastic experience.

The ability of the captain and the entire crew to give us an experience that was unique to us but hopefully repeatable as soon as we return to Iceland from Italy.

Clara was an amazing guide! We were lucky to talk with her before and after the activity, and you can truly feel how passionate she is about marine biology. We had a great time and spotted four different animals!

Tunnel was neat, lights were late but finally showed up. Our guide was really into geology, which was fun. Wish we’d had a bit more time in the tunnel to take photos. Bus seats a little cramped if you’re tall.

Tunnel was AMAZING, the colors and formations are unreal. Lights were out and dancing. Guides were so friendly and even took photos for us. Would recommend to anyone!

Booked this for my girlfriend who LOVES birds. She was in heaven. I’m not as into birds but still enjoyed the scenery. Saw puffins flying, swimming, even fighting (lol). Boat was comfy. Would go again.
