Everything was great , the staff , the guide and the captain from the boat . If puffins should stayed a little bit longer so we could have seen them , it would been more than perfect ! It was great !! Thanks

The experience was great! We were warm in our wetsuits. We saw several whales and lots of dolphins playing and jumping around in the water. My kids (5 years old) loved it!

The guide was very good and told a lot of interesting facts about the whales of Iceland! We were lucky and saw a sleeping humpback whale and enjoyed our trip a lot!

    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.
