Incredible experience! Parking was right in front of the boat. They provided the warmest full body jumpsuit that doubled as a floatation device. If you care deeply about what size you get, then be early (15-20 min) as the smalls were taken quickly. Bring snacks and water! They do provide hot cocoa and a snack but it’s at one time in the middle of the tour. Can you tell I’m a mom yet 😅 We had MANY whale sightings, even right next to the boat. The captain was wonderful and even spent some time telling my youngest (10 yo) about Iceland and some childhood experiences there.

This was our first time whale watching and it was fantastic! I was a little worried we would be out for awhile before catching a glimpse of the whales. However, they snuck up behind us. Captains were super cool and super knowledgeable about the patterns of the whales. We were able to capture several photos and videos so we will always remember our first experience.

World class activities always start with the people. Fabulous from start to finish a big shout out to johann and the captain mad us feel safe and like family
The physical plant of gear/jumpsuits and ship were completely above expectations
The viewing area for the boat to travel was near. The whales were abundant fishing was fun and unexpected catch
Only can be rated as 5 star
Thank you !

Great company run by honest, down-to-earth people who communicate openly about weather conditions, whale sightings, when and how best to book. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Watch the whales in this stunning Icelandic nature was simply the highlight of our trip in Iceland.
And Im positive that the Whale Watching Hauganes was the perfect company to make this tour.
The morning started in the office, where they gave us super warm clothes to use during the trip.
Then we went to the boat and we were very glad with the number of tourists with us. They were very organized and we had a comfortable space on the boat to enjoy the tour!
After 20 minutes on the sea, the boat starts to slow down and this massive silence takes over and everybody just wait for then to show to start. Then the nature spectacle begins with 2 Humpback Whales swimming beautifully next to us.
We stayed maybe for an hour spotting then and other 2 whales that showed on the same bay.
We had hot chocolate and cookies to keep us warm during the tour and at the end we went angling, to finish this amazing trip!
Was unforgettable and we truly recommend Whale Watching Hauganes!

This was a real highlight of my trip to Iceland and I highly recommend it. The crew are knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer questions. We saw a humpback whale so close to the boat it was amazing. The hot chocolate or coffee and home-made cookies didn't go amiss either!

Really great, these guys know what they're doing. We saw some whales, and there was also hot chocolate and delicious homemade cookies on board. The boat was fast and could get close to the whales very quickly, as quick as the zodiac boat next to us.

They canceled the tour due to sea conditions. So far so good. They didn't return the money to anyone that day because they had computer problems. That was on August 11th. More than 10 days later we don't have our money back yet and they are not answering the emails anymore. Not serious. I do not recommend them.
