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.

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 staff were very friendly and helpful. We did see whales. When spotted, the captain slowed and circled the boat to allow us to see. Excellent 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.
