★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 488 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $108

Review of Reykjavik’s 3-hour whale and dolphin yacht cruise, with wildlife, harbor views, onboard comforts, pricing, and practical booking advice.

“We had such a great experience as a family (2 adults, 2 children). We have been wanting to see whales for a long time and finally got to tick them off the bucket list. So pleased we got to see a few groups of Humpback whales - amazing! I would definitely recommend this trip to others, the crew were great at tracking them and communicating with all on board. We didn't use the warm areas or bars onboard, but it was good to know that facilities were available if we needed to use them. We were too engrossed with taking the experience in on the top deck! 🐋❤️”
