We had a great time on this cruise! We saw a few whales and quite a few dolphins; the guide was quick to point them out and was very knowledgeable about all the marine life around Reykjavik. The puffins were super cute, that might have been my favorite part of the tour. Bring a jacket - it gets cold out on the boat!

Worth seeing!

We were lucky to have good weather, calm seas and loads of sightings of Minke whales. The puffins are cute but without binoculars you can't see much really.

Well-organised tour; unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the tour guides knew they were being elusive on the day we went out, so they made extra efforts to try and find them. I liked how those people who were staying on in Iceland were offered another trip to try and ensure they saw some whales. My advice - take some warm clothing!!

The uncertainty of the weather makes a pre-booking for this trip a poor option. My day was a well-organised experience of the elements and an opportunity to regain my sea legs after too many years on dry land. However, it was not a pleasurable opportunity for observing nature.

This was very disappointing! Weather was terrible, had to take seasickness tablets provided by the tour company, and saw no whales or puffins! It was an experience, and I would do it again in the hope of seeing something. I would recommend not booking this one in advance until you see what the weather is like that day!

The ship's crew did its best, it was just that we visited in early September when there were no whales, dolphins or puffins (oh my!) to be spotted. We were given a rain check, but unfortunately were unable to use it.

We felt like it was rare to see any whales from what they said.
