It was an amazing experience and Jacob our guide was really passionate about the whales which was great! We were lucky to see three kind of whales! If you have the time to take a Whale Watching Tour in Akureyri I warmly recommend this one as it is just a small group of people and you get a lot closer to the animals than with the big boats! We surely will be back! <3

Good whale watching Trip..we seen three humpbacks...we were lucky as the weather was nice and sunny for our trip..but the mist did come down as we were coming back to the harbor...timed it right. This company is a very good whale watching company to go with..they are very helpful and caring.

First off, i would definitely recommend dressing warm, and having something the covers/blocks wind up past your nose. We did and it was a lifesaver in the October cold. Secondly, i HIGHLY recommend this tour! It was a unique experience and we got to see many whales! The guides/boat captain were knowledgeable and pleseant. My husband and I created memories that will last a lifetime 💕

This was the only trip we did in Iceland that didn't leave me feeling a bit disappointed. I loved it! It was well organised, the speedboat was alot of fun, we saw many whales, one popped up practically right beside the boat, but generally we kept a respectful distance away from the whales to not disturb them, our guide Mack was great and taught us so many interesting facts about whale behaviour. The speed boat definitely felt like the right choice as we were able to get over to where the whales were just in time to watch them dive. They usually turned the boat to the side so that everyone had a great view. We were also lucky to have fantastic weather and calm seas so that obviously helped!

Thank you very much for this incredible experience! We saw 7 whales and tales. It was just amazing. Full of joy and happynes.

It was great. We got up close to several whales. Just an FYI, your shoes will get wet unless you wear some waterproof ones. We had full on water hit us a couple times. But it was a great time

We visited Akureyri by cruise ship but booked this independently with Elding. We had a great time. The RIB boat seats 12 so everyone has a good view, and they supply thermal suits for the cold. They also have goggles and gloves if you didnt have your own. We were able to see 7 or 8 whales- humpbacks, minkes and possibly a sei whlae. The guide was spotting, as was the captian, but he also was taking photos which they will email to you if you request them. The RIB boats are bouncy so be prepared for that if you are motion sensitive ( I am but with pre treatment with Bonine, had no issues). We definitely recommend this tour and would do it again were we to be in Akureyri in the future

Amazing tour. The tour guide was so informative and friendly. I would highly recommend doing this tour. The tour guide also takes photos of the whales which they send to you after the trip.

Booked in advance to go on the RIB Whale Watching in Akureyri while visiting the town on a cruise. This was the best thing we did on the whole holiday. We were lucky and saw a number of humpbacks and a couple of minky whales - this obviously made the trip very special. A big thanks to David our escort who gave us lots of useful, funny and insightful information on the animals we saw and the local environment. Thanks also to our skilful lady driver who got up close (but not too close!) to the action and able to see these wonderful creatures whilst feeding in the fjord. Just a wonderful experience and can only recommend this local firm who have great knowledge of their area and the whales who visit.

We went on the rib boat and had an amazing trip. Our guide Lindsey was great. We saw humpbacks, minks and even the northern bottlenose.

Excellent! We went in the morning slot, weather was kind and we saw humpback up very close and Minke whales amongst other things. Worth it for the RIB ride alone…you go a long way! Wrap up and use the supplied goggles. Team were friendly and very knowledgeable. Recommended.

A great 2 hours. Porpoises, Minkes and Humpbacks (one very close to rib) great guiding and steering. Saw more whales than other boats and were in the right place at the right time.

Outstanding tour! After a failed attempt (due to rough seas) the day before in a different port, I was lucky to get a spot on the afternoon RIB express tour. Even if we hadn’t seen any whales, it would have been a fun and scenic boat ride, but boy did we see whales! From start to finish, it was one sighting after another of humpback and minke whales. I specifically wanted to do a tour in a RIB boat and be at the water level and it did not disappoint. One whale swam right by the boat! We also heard another whale trumpet. The onboard naturalist was fantastic and don’t worry about taking pictures and videos, the naturalist took a bunch and you can email them for the link after the tour. This is also a very responsible company who cares about the marine life. They are careful to stay a respectful distance from the whales and let the whales come to the boat. In our two week Iceland trip, this was probably my favorite thing we did. Can’t recommend highly enough!

What a great trip. Perfect sunny day. We saw easily 8 humpbacks and several minke whales. Our captain Anna and guide Lindsey were very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this trip!

It was an incredible experience. The RIP boat drive to and from the spots was great, good fun,good start into the tour. When we arrived at the spot, we immediatly saw mutliple whales, it was incredible to see these creatures from such a smal distance. Adiitionally, the tour guide was also great, he gave interesting facts about these whales and was open to all sort of questions.
