Reykjavik Sailors, Reykjavik

We went on a whale watching tour with Reykjavik Sailors/Special Tours on the Andrea. The boat was quite large and the trip was quite busy, but there are plenty of places to stand/sit and the ship was piloted brilliantly to ensure everyone got to see the marine life. We saw a lot of different dolphins on the way out to the main whale watching area, and then watches a family of 3 humpback whales feeding, diving and breaching. Aside from the boat and the whales, excellent commentary is provided by the staff, which was both informative and hilarious

The boat is big and the staff is friendly. The tour guide/speaker is very knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately, we kept seeing the same whale-mink whale. Although, the tour guide claimed that in the morning they had sighted 4 different whales. I have done these a few times in different countries and honestly is not worth it. I would prefer to pay more and ride on a smaller boat and experience what you only see in videos. Overall, the service was good and the tour guide was friendly. It’s a 4 star because we did not receive an email that it was cancelled due to weather. We had already arrived at the harbour since we were close to an hour drive to Reykjavik.

Great whale watching tour! Hotel pickup was easy and on time. Check in took 30 seconds and the boat (Andrea) left right on time. We saw a bunch of humpback whales and some puffins. The guide was very good and the boat was not too full so it was easy to see everything. The food available for purchase on the boat is very reasonably priced compared to everything else in town. We arrived back at the dock at exactly 12:00.

Amazing experience with the Reykjavik sailors. We got to see dolphins and hump back whales. Such an humbling experience Crew was really knowledgable and even gave a talk at the end of the tour with regards to dolphins and whales. Boat was excellent and food and refreshments very good and reasonably priced. I would definitely go on this tour again with this company. Perfect thank you

Absolutely amazing. Saw dolphins leaping from the water, two hump back whales multiple times and mink whales. We had the trip cancelled the day before due to weather but re booked the trip for the following day within 20 minutes of receiving email. Had a brilliant time, lovely people on the boat and so glad we got to enjoy this!!
