5.00Top notch from the easy and informative check in followed by very helpful selection and fitting of tour provided ultra warm foul weather gear. All this before being released to our amazing guide Louisa for very clear safety briefing and discusion of what to expect. Louisa and our captain gave us a complete interesting fun-filled 2 hours where we saw puffins in the water and on the small island AND of course a number of whale sightings. The outing far exceeded our expectations AND Husavik remains our favorite town in Iceland!!!
Great trip!

5.00Gentle Giants is a great company that was professional and fun all at the same time. Our guide, Louisa, is a marine biologist and gave us insightful and timely information about the animals we encountered. We saw both Bob and Magic the humpback whales in the bay. Beautiful and quirky puffins and as an extra bonus a pod of white-beaked dolphins played in our RIB’s wake! A trip of a lifetime
Cool experience

5.00My family and I enjoyed this exciting whale watch and puffin tour. It was fun to go far out into the bay and be low in the water to enjoy the whales and puffins. Our guide was knowledgeable and we enjoyed every minute!

4.00Looking for the whale in an adventurous way, because riding a RIB is almost like riding a roller coaster. We had a nice guide, Jelmer, who humorously taught us about puffins, whales and all the other living things in this bay. Don't expect to be able to take the pictures on the website, that was really done by professionals, but we saw 3 whales and that was beautiful!
Marvellous whalewatching.

5.00I booked a tour with a RIB-boat, it was awesome! Because it was end of season I was in a not so crowded boat. We had Dimitra as a guide and I really liked her enthousiasm. She told us about the whales and their behaviour, she also told us we saw something very unusual: whales who hunted together. We saw 8 individual humpbackwhales approximatly. The gear was great, I wasn't cold at any time. Admission fee was a bit higher but I would defenitly recommand the RIB-boat if your back allows it. We had a tour for aproximately 2.5/3 hours. Note: I booked a puffin and whale tour, but from september there are no puffins anymore. I was already aware of this and didn't mind. I went for the whales.
