The Husavik day was cancelled but transferred to Arksogssandur on another day. Got to see harbour porpoises and humpback breaching.

So cold!!! No joke, layer up. We saw one humpback that came to the surface 4 times. Guide was very knowledgeable and filled in the times between whale sightings with great local knowledge.

This tour in itself was great. The boats were well maintained, the guide was very enjoyable to listen to and we did see dolphins and whales. I’m not sure if it was just the ocean that day or the particular group, but several people in our group got seasick and were throwing up on the sides of the boat. Motion sickness sufferers be warned

The husavik tour got cancelled due to weather, but they were quick to offer an alternative or a refund, which was nice. Overall, it was fun. They give you overalls to keep you warm and a rain jacket to keep you dry. We saw a few whales and the guide was informative.
Also provided hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls at the end, which was a nice touch.
Definite possibility of getting sea sick due to choppy waters and a smallish boat though. Keep in mind.

We boarded a 9:15AM tour. Despite the heavy fog we saw a few dolphins up close. The main attraction of the day was a minke whale, we were able to observe lots of details. My 6 year old really enjoyed it.

The tour was well organized and the staff are very helpful.

Overall a perfect day!
