5.00Absolutely amazing time. A must do while at Westman Islands. We got a potential wind warning before 9 am for our 12 pm trip that the wind was too high and to stand by. However, the captain was able to alter the route so we stayed around the East side of the Iceland. And it was freaking amazing. Music was great. Captain Omar was skilled. Our guide Albert had really nice personal stories. I can do this trip every day!
Amazing

5.00This was an amazing trip. The employees were all very professional and friendly, and we felt like we were in good hands at all times. The scenery was breathtaking. The stories and anecdotes and information provided were interesting and well told. Our guide was a young woman named Chris and she was fantastic. I can't possibly recommend this trip enough.
10 minutes with 1 whale and then headed back towards land…

2.00Just because you can get to the whales faster does not mean you get more time with them. Just because the boat is smaller and more maneuverable does not mean you will get closer to them. Take a bigger boat have a drink and get closer with a better view. Guide said we were going somewhere else but Captain just took us back in towards port more slowly. We have been whale watching many times all over the world. Hugely disappointing.
So much fun!!! Great...
