We saw 5 whales in different locations. We had a great tour guide and a fun group on the boat. Flying puffins. Biting rains didn't damper the experience. Loved it!

Our family went on the RIB boat, it ended up being just the 6 of us which was quite nice. The crew was phenomenal - knowledgeable, fun and attentive. We saw lots of puffins and we’re lucky to see 4-5 different whales in the bay all breaching at different times. Highly recommend this tour.

Seeing and following a ginormous hump back whale with two small ones. It came to within 10 feet of the boat.

We left the Harbor and went to puffin rock, where we received an excellent education on puffins and see birds in general. Shortly there after we spotted our first whales, a mother hump back and her calf. We spent a reasonable amount of time watching them feed before heading off in search of additional whales. We did find three other whales who were less stationary, but we got to see a few glimpses of each before heading back to Port. The seas were calm and, although it was cloudy and overcast, it was a beautiful day on the water. Our guide, Laura, was friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining. The rib boat was speedy, agile, and a lot of fun. Surprisingly, we all stayed pretty dry compared to what I was expecting. It was a great time. We highly recommend this trip!

Unfortunately we did not get to spot any whale. But the view of the Orka family completely made up for it.
No whales sighted, but still fun

We unfortunately didn’t get see any whales, but the company did offer another tour to try and make up for it. We were out there for quite some time so you could tell that they really did make an effort to try and find them. Being on a rib boat was quite the experience within itself so 4/5. Would recommend bringing a change of clothes.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Thank you for your honest review! The nature is unpredictable and we are not always successful on our tours. Thank you very much for understanding. But of course you book the tour to see whales thus we do offer a return ticket to all passengers that were unable to spot any marine mammals on the tour.
Greetings from Husavik,

We loved this tour so much. We're glad that we took a RIB Boat Tour as we were able to go faster, get closer to potential sightings, and have a smaller group. The boat itself felt extremely safe even though we were going quite fast. We were able to see a whale on the tour and the team did a great job of explaining what was happening/what we were seeing. They do provide gear to wear on the boat so you don't get wet/stay warm.
Great tour!

We got about 10ft from a humpback whale which was awesome. Our guide was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. And I appreciated that they kept in mind the well-being of the whales and not just happy tourists
Best experience on our holliday.

Despite the fact that it started raining hard during this trip and we got quite wet, we still really enjoyed it. We saw humpback whales, one was fin slapping and jumping, enjoying himself and at the end we saw two whales swimming together. We were well looked after by this company and would recommend them.

Excellent trip. The guide was very knowledgable and the boat captain was patient and very nice.
We saw several humpback whales on our trip. I chose the RIB boat because I get sea sick. I did not feel nauseous at all on the trip. It was great to have a fast boat so they we could speed towards a water spout when we saw it. Also, having a small group on the boat we were 4 was so much better than having 40 people as seen on the bigger ships. Would highly recommend despite the higher price.

Great experience!! Very friendly and helpful staff. We saw four whales and one of them did some amazing jumps, from a close distance. Due to the speed and flexibility of the RIB boat we could reach the whales fast and do the whole tour within 2hrs, which is very important. If you sometimes feel dizzy in the see the RIB boats could limit that compared to the other boats offering whale watching tours. Totally recommended it despite the fact that in general these tours are, for me, significantly overpriced.

If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email.
