    We took this excursion while on a cruise to Iceland and it was among our favorites. The crew was friendly and so helpful, especially in getting us on and off board and seated. You can sit in the open air or enclosed by glass and move from one area to another. They have hot drinks for sale and provide professional photos afterwards upon email request. Best of all, we saw five whales and many dolphins!

    Fantastic experience! A nice tour of the Akureyri fjord on a sunny day: we were lucky to meet 3 whales that were swimming around the boat for a while. The crew were fantastic at giving us clear instructions every time about where the whales were and sharing information about the whales' lifestyle. After the tour the crew has given the option to contact them to receive professional photos taken during the tour so that you can enjoy the experience without the worry of taking nice photos yourself.
