We missed our tour boat by minutes, and were pleased to find that we can use a credit for the tour in any future trip we take to Reykjavik. (It was our own fault for missing the boat.) Very pleasant service!

The boat and crew was amazing! There is a little cafe on board for snacks and warm drinks, as well as WiFi if you need it. We were able to experience a pair of whales that were very active in the harbor. Even for a frigid February whale watching experience, it was well worth it to be out in the cold on top of the boat with uninterrupted views of the whales. There was plenty of seating inside with large windows, but it can still be limiting especially since the rows nearest the windows are only seats of 3, which is not ideal when you have a group of 4. Overall, no complaints about the experience and I would go on this tour again!

We had a great time watching the fireworks.
We had a fantastic experience and were thrilled to see several humpback whales on our excursion abord the Andrea. The staff was knowledgeable and made every effort to ensure we were able to see whales even though the weather was not as cooperative as it could be that day. And it was good to know that if we didn't see any whales, we could always come back free of charge to try again. Highly recommend!
