Whale Watching Reykjavik Tours

Went solo because I didn’t wanna miss out and not many people wanted to go out in the cold lol. The boat was cooool, tons of space inside and out. I did get a bit cold so def layer up. Saw a whale tail slap and some seals lying on rocks. Didn’t see the lights, but they gave us a voucher to come back another night, which is nice I guess. Staff was super chill, answered all my questions.

This was our main reason for coming to Iceland and it did NOT disappoint! The whale watching was just magical (saw a mom and baby) and the northern lights were bright green for most of the cruise. Tons of photo ops. Dress in layers and bring a hat, trust me.

Went with my brother and my dad (he’s a whale nerd) and it was COLD but the crew handed out blankets which helped a lot. We actually saw a humpback breaching, which was a first for us. It felt like the boat was rocking a bit much but nobody seemed to mind. There’s a bar but I just stuck to hot chocolate. Crew was chatty, knew so much. Would go again tbh, just bring extra socks.

Pretty decent trip overall. Bit crowded on deck but I managed to get a good spot. Saw dolphins before whales, so that was a bonus. It got super windy and my hat almost blew off, so hold onto ur stuff. Crew were friendly, but wish the guide spoke a little slower.

Great for teens! My daughter loved the speed. Saw one whale pretty close but others kept their distance. Crew did their best to find more. Worth it, but bring snacks.

Booked as a family, kids 7 and 10. Both loved it, esp the fast bits. Saw two different types of whale and some seals. Crew was patient with our questions.
