Our Experience: Reykjavik Whale Watching Tour
Our experience with Elding Whale Watching went ABOVE and BEYOND! We joined a morning tour on our last day in Reykjavik and were excited to get out on the water. The crew was fantastic and provided great guidance on what to look for as possible signs of wildlife. After heading out from the dock, we eventually found white-beaked dolphins, plenty of gulls, and a few puffins. Eventually we found a very curious and playful pod of dolphins and enjoyed following them for a while, but had to turn around without having spotted any whales.
Right as we were approaching the buoy marking our return to harbor, the captain completely turned around and headed back out to sea. Mind you, we were roughly 10 minutes from the end of our three-hour tour. Our guide came back out to explain that they had received a very credible rumor of a whale from another one of the tour boats. Instead of mailing it in and ending the tour as scheduled, they were determined to find a whale! I have never been on a tour with such determination to deliver an unforgettable experience. After heading very far back out to sea, we were able to spot a humpback whale!
In addition to an incredible trip, they also provide you with pictures from your trip if you send them an email after returning. If you're looking to go whale watching in Reykjavik, look no further than Elding!
