Worth the money.
Only saw the backs of a couple of whales, but saw lots of dolphins. Perfect weather and scenery. Could not believe 65° Fahrenheit , 35 miles South of the Arctic Circle.

Whales and Puffins Tour from Husavik
It was a perfect, magical experience. The captain and crew were amazing and taught us so much about the area, puffins, whales, and conservation. I can’t believe how many whales we saw in a few hours! The puffins were also super cute. The amazing tour then ended with hot cocoa and a cinnamon bun.

Saw whales multiple times. We were very pleased with the guide who was very knowledgeable about the whales and identified the 4 we saw show their tails The cinnamon bun and hot chocolate really hit the spot.
Tour cut short due to weather but so much fun

Whale Safari and Puffins RIB Boat Tour from Húsavík
Even though our tour was cut short/cancelled due to high winds, we had a blast while we were out in the speedboat. The guide, Josephine was high energy and knew her stuff. The captain also did a great job of keeping everyone updated on what was going on with the sea conditions and made sure we returned to shore safely. The boat ride was so fun! I hope to come back someday and get to do the full tour to see the whales and puffins. Just as an fyi, do NOT bring your camera on this one - we ended up booking a different tour the next day on one of the larger boats and cameras would be fine there, but this tour is fast, lots of crazy waves and splashing and your things will get soaked.
Great morning out at sea

Helpful staff who gave information about the whales whilst at sea. We managed to see quite a few whales. The weather was very cold, so do wrap up warm. Hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls were a nice touch.

Sarah was a great guide and Captain Matt zipped us around the rib boat to get close ups of the whale. You feel right next to the whales. Highly recommend

It was one of the best experiences in my life. We saw a whale from afar which was disappointing at first but then we saw a huge group of dolphins swimming around us and it was a magical experience!
