My husband and I absolutely love wildlife, so we just had to go on one of these tours on our honeymoon in Iceland. Both the whale tour and the puffin tour were excellent. On the whale tour, we got to see a shocking amount of whales, and our puffin tour guide was sweet and so excited to talk to us about puffins! There really are thousands of puffins on that island, it was so cool to see them up close! Highly recommend, this will definitely be a highlight of our trip!
This 1-hour trip is perfect to be guaranteed Atlantic Puffin sightings if you are pressed for time. The crew were fun and passionate, despite probably leading multiple trips a day. We were able to get really close to these cutest of birds, as well as other species of the area. Well recommended!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so grateful to hear that you had a wonderful time with our team and found them both fun and passionate throughout the tour. It means a great deal that you recognised their enthusiasm and dedication, even though their work is repetitive day after day. We are especially happy to know that you got to see the puffins and enjoyed watching just how adorable they are! Thank you for choosing to join us, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.
We were thrilled with our tour! Christina was a great guide, and the RIB driver Jörn had a wonderful sense of how to get close to the whale without disturbing it. We saw humpback whales, dolphins, a minke whale, and puffins. It was a sensational experience. I can only recommend it to everyone. Just the ride on the RIB was already fantastic!
Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Bewertung mit uns geteilt und die Bemühungen unseres Guides und unseres Kapitäns hervorgehoben haben, die zu einem großartigen Erlebnis beigetragen haben. Wir freuen uns sehr zu hören, dass Sie während der Tour so viele verschiedene Walarten sehen konnten. Es ist immer etwas Besonderes, wenn unsere Gäste solch unvergessliche Naturerlebnisse mit nach Hause nehmen. Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Empfehlung, und wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen!
We spent a very nice day there. We can only report positive things about the company, as we have traveled with them for the fifth time today. We will always gladly book the excursions there again. Recently, German-speaking guides have even been employed. Which we personally found very pleasant as Germans 😂. So here you are also well taken care of without English.
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass dies bereits Ihre fünfte Tour mit uns war. Diese Treue bedeutet unserem gesamten Team sehr viel, und wir wissen Ihr langjähriges Vertrauen wirklich zu schätzen. Es ist besonders schön zu hören, dass Sie Ihre Erfahrung genossen haben und sich gut betreut gefühlt haben. Ebenso freut es uns, dass unsere deutschsprachigen Guides Ihren Ausflug noch angenehmer und komfortabler gestaltet haben. Wir bemühen uns stets, unsere Touren für Gäste aus aller Welt zugänglich und herzlich zu gestalten. Vielen Dank für Ihre Weiterempfehlung. Wir freuen uns schon darauf, Sie bald zu Ihrer sechsten Tour bei uns an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen!
Thought is was a good tour. I hadn’t realized that the Puffin tour was a different craft, immediately following whales, and went home, but went back to squeeze in Puffins the next morning and the woman just switched my day, so all was well. We saw five humpbacks so that was great! Puffin part was a bit disappointed and would have liked an option to rent binoculars for the trip. If I return some day, I’ll do the RIB.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both our Whale Watching and Puffin Express tours. Although there was some misunderstanding regarding one of your bookings, we are pleased that our front desk team was able to assist you and find an alternative departure time so you could still join the experience. It is wonderful to know that you had successful whale sightings during your tour. We are sorry to hear, however, that the Puffin Express experience was a little disappointing. We would like to mention that binoculars are available on board for our guests to use free of charge, and we hope this information was communicated by our crew during the tour. We truly appreciate your feedback and are very happy to hear that you would like to return and try our RIB Express experience in the future. We will be delighted to welcome you back and share another adventure with you!
We were able to get really pretty close to the Puffins. The guide was excellent - he was knowledgeable about 4 different species of Puffins. My daughter and daughter-in-law both loved this excursion !!
Thank you for your kind recommendation! We are very happy to know that you found our guide very knowledgeable about puffins! We love to hear that both your daughters enjoyed this excursion!
Great guide & Skipper. Very informative and some great photos. Thanks again Trudy

Fantastic experience for our family
Bedankt voor uw vriendelijke beoordeling! We zijn erg blij om te horen dat u en uw gezin een fantastische ervaring hebben gehad. We hopen dat u van uw tijd bij ons heeft genoten en we verwelkomen u graag opnieuw in de toekomst!
Brilliant experience throughout. From the initial visit to the sales team to the whole sail. Really well organised and fantastic knowledge shared by the guide. She was excellent throughout and you see see how much she loves her subject. Excellent facilities on the ship, from the shop, toilets and the warm weather wear. Almost unreal seeing the whales that close.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you found our team well-organised and knowledgeable. Our guides truly love what they do, and it’s wonderful to know their passion for whales came through during your tour. We’re also happy that you enjoyed the ship’s facilities and had the unforgettable experience of seeing the whales up close. We hope to welcome you on board again soon!
Service is good and the guides are also very good. We however did not see a whale at all. Passenger should be informed beforehand about the chances of seeing whales, then a more informed decision on whether to take or not the tour can be made.
