Incredible experience - We had an incredible midnight sun (20:00) tour in perfect weather conditions with Captain Örn & Guide Eline. We saw 5 Humpback whales and many hundreds/thousands of Puffins. We headed out towards a flock of birds and moments later the first Humpback appeared. We then had numerous sightings (20-30 I'd estimate) of the 5+ whales including 3 breaches! One of which was meters away from our RIB boat! The Guide Eline was absolutely fantastic as was the piloting from Captain Örn. Incredible experience, worth every penny.

Whale Experience at Night - Wow, we saw 4 humpback whales when we did the 8pm trip!! We went out some 20km and it might be looking for a ‘needle in a haystack’ from our perspective but this company knew their stuff. Experienced captain Gunni along with guide Eline found them 30 minutes into the 2 hour trip. We were a small group of three but the trip still went ahead. The business provides all the weatherproof clothing for warmth, protection against the water/cold aspects and also a life vest for safety on the water. Providing also goggles and gloves, a must as traveling at high speed. Our backpacks can be stored in lockers in the building, you just need a charged phone and your camera. The whales are a sight to see, surprising even the crew with their antics and proximity to the inflatable. Which was very comfortable riding in sea craft like this. Eline was a marine biologist who shared facts on this type of whale and the birds we saw, plus more when we stopped briefly at a puffin/ seabird sanctuary. Thanks for the adventure Kiwi Susan
