“Very good trip. They want the best experience for their guests”
Húsavík RIB whale watching with up-close action in Skjálfandi Bay, plus Puffin Island in season, warm suits, and small-group views.
“Overall fun experience even though we took the 9am tour which was the first tour of the day hoping to see Whales, but only saw a few fins, not that exciting. Very cold, wet and rough waters getting out there so expect to get wet! They provide great gear for all. Austin our guide was great, very informative. I will say the negative was that it was also suppose to be whales & puffins, but the puffins aspect of the tour was never addressed, so not sure if what happened with that (?) overall no regrets.”
