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.

It was very dissapointing. When you sell the idea to the Whale Safari and Pufin Island, you show the same photo of a Puffin like if we where going to see them these near. When we went to the island , the boat stopped about 300 yards or more away. The tour guide just kept screaming , "you see those little black spots over ther? well...there are Puffins... wow! and wow...you see those spots over the....wlll there are Puffins and seagulls...so we just had to take his word for it. I NEVER SAW A PUFFIN I only saw black spots... The same with the whales.... they were about 500 yards away and you could only look at the fins and take the tour´s guide word that it was a blue whale or whatever. Deception. Besides that, I didn¨t get sea sick.

Whale watching without seeing any whales, except for 2 minke whales that some of us saw for a fraction of a second. Perhaps the Icelanders have eaten all the whales.

This trip would be more fruitful if taken from May onwards. Due to the climate and the breeding habits of the wildlife, we did not get to see any whales or puffins and feel that this trip should not be on offer until May.
