I couldn't give 5 stars because I actually didn't see any whales, but it was in December and you can't control nature, lol. Even though no actual whale sightings, it's still a nice boat ride that you can capture some beautiful views. The captain was very funny &entertaining and they sold plenty of snacks and things for motion sickness for free.

The organization was good. Unfortunately we were told that February is not a good moth for whale watching once on the boat. In any case the crew and the boat are brilliant. Same for northern lights hunting

Was lucky enough to visit Iceland March 2024 with 4 other family members. We had a great time on this tour and were right next to a humpback whale! When we came back for part 2 of the tour we were also able to see the Northern Lights! Definitely a Bucket List worthy trip, would love to go back and see the country side when it's a lush green.

Sadly weather prevented the northern lights part of the tour but the whale watching tour was amazing! Crew was super knowledgeable and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone.

I enjoyed the whale watching session, the boat was a little packed on deck so was sometimes difficult to find a space for clear viewing if the whales. The American tour guide was entertaining .
It’s a pity we didn’t get to see the northern lights they didn’t want to appear

If you have extra money and it’s on your bucket list I would really recommend a smaller boat to see the Whales and Northern Lights , the tour said 3 hours for each and we spend less than 2 hours on each tour. The Whale watching we barely left the harbour as we saw some humpbacks but it would have been better to see one and then go further afield looking for dolphins and other whale species. It was also really hard to see anything because there were so many people we couldn’t get the edge of the boat to look out, and it stayed head on towards the whale whereas if it had moved to the side more people could have seen it. The northern lights we spent 30 minutes sailing out , 1 hour waiting and 30 minutes back. If they had stayed an extra hour from 10.30-11.30pm we may not have seen them still but would have given us a better chance and it is what we paid for. So all in all disappointed and wouldn’t do it again.

We only learnt that the tour was full until we arrived the pier ready to be on board. There was no phone call from the service provider but just an email. What is worse is that my booking showed “completed” on Viator platform and I am not sure how to request a refund. Why could customers book a tour if it was full?

We had a great time and would definitely recommend the combo whale-watching and northern lights tour. For the whale watching, we were pretty lucky and were able to see whales close to the harbor in the calmer waters. They did have some complimentary motion sickness tablets for those who were still feeling sick. Our guide was super knowledgeable about the whales and some took good pictures. They also had some complimentary warm overalls in various sizes that you could wear if you got too cold outside; there were plenty available for both the whale watching and lights.
For Northern Lights we were able to see some throughout the night. It was never very bright, but I certainly can't hold that against the tour. It was very nice to be able to step into the warmth and grab a drink or snack when the lights weren't too active. The guide always announced when there was activity so you knew to come out. Our guide was knowledgeable about the lights and stars and would often point out constellations and different variations of the northern lights. We would definitely recommend this over a bus tour to see the lights.

Staff were very informative and knowledgeable and we successfully found a juvenile humpback! The only negative for me with the whale watching was the boat tends to get turned so that the whale(s) are at the front of the boat, which makes it hard for you to see them unless you’re at the front! Complimentary sea sickness tablets were given which were much needed as the water was quite rough! We were unsuccessful with the Northern Lights part of the tour on the first night so were able to go again the next night free of charge. We saw a glimpse of them creeping through the cloud and again the staff were very knowledgable. Would definitely recommend!

We saw whales and Northern Lights. Nothing is guaranteed and we were so very lucky to experience both amazing spectacles.
