Tour canceled despite boats still going out
Tamela_W
, Jul 2022
We were looking forward to our whale & puffin tour. It was the first day in many that was sunny & calm. When we showed up for the tour, we learned it was canceled "due to sea conditions." We were told an email had been sent, but I could find no such email (not even in spam). A local learning that our tour was canceled "due to sea conditions" asked incredulously "today?". Other companies were sending out boats & even the company that canceled on us was sending out tours. Someone else said conditions were ideal (not always true) and mused aloud that there "probably weren't enough people signed up for a whale & puffin tour." I would have believed that conditions were poor many other days, but not the day we were scheduled. And not when boats were still going out throughout the time we were scheduled.

Last minute change made it as good as possible.

The tour was great. My only complaint was that our tour was switched from Husavik to Akuyeri due to weather but also we weren't able to see the puffins as planned due to this unforeseeable change. We did see two humpback whales which was very cool.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review.
I'm glad to hear that you were happy with the tour :)
I'm very sorry if you were not provided with the information about the lack of puffins in Hjalteyri.
Could you please send us an email with your booking details so we can take a look at your booking? :)
Thank you for the review, I wish you a wonderful week.
Kind regards,
Þórný
Unacceptable business practices

They cancelled the tour. They said due to weather, but the weather was fine. I suspect they just didn't have enough people scheduled. That is not an acceptable business practice.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.
I'm sorry to hear that your tour was cancelled.
It rarely happens that we don't have enough people scheduled for our tours.
Unfortunately the weather conditions can be completely different out at sea than here in Húsavík, and sometimes we need to cancel tours due to bad sea conditions as it is not safe to go out if the waves are very high.
I'm very sorry to hear that you were not happy with our services and that you were not able to join us for a whale watching tour.
If you want to contact us, feel free to write us an email or call us anytime.
I wish you a wonderful day!
Kind regards,
Þórný

This whale watching tour was the highlight of our trip! We were so lucky to see about ten whales right in the fjord, and really enjoyed seeing puffins for the first time. The tour was extremely safe, well run and the crew was great! They were so knowledgeable about all sea life and we learned so much. I did not bring my DSLR camera because I was worried about water spray, but it was a beautiful day and the water was calm so I missed an amazing opportunity to photograph these beautiful creatures. Just the chance to see Iceland from the water was totally worth the tour price. The scenery is spectacular, and Husavik is such a charming little town. I wish we had known to book accommodations there because we would have loved to linger by the harbor. I really can't recommend this tour enough!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. 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. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
