100% recommend this tour! The express trip has a faster boat so you still get the same length of time spotting the whales but less time getting out to sea. It also means that it's faster to get over to an area where splashes have been spotted so I think you get a better experience. The guides are really great. Knowledgeable about the sealife in the area, enthusiastic, great at spotting the whales, made an effort to communicate with everyone (in about 4 different languages!) and really try their best to make it a good trip for everyone. I went by myself and they really made sure I was included in the group. Also, after a week in Iceland I really started to appreciate that it's quite a good value tour for what you get! Yes it's expensive but it's just an expensive country in general.

I've only been on two whale watching tours. But this boat - BIG so steady - but FAST so not wasting time getting to the whales, made al the difference. Options for everybody - inside, outside, top, front, back! They had warm waterproof gear for everyone too, but even with various size options they were bulky. I had brought my own snow board pants and a winter coat, which worked really well for me.

Was my third whale watching tour (2 of them 2017) and the first time I saw whales now, finally. Everything was fine in the ship, weather was great and I must say it was just totally amazing to see the whales, totally amazing, dream come true for me :) It is also cool to be in a ship and see the views and ocean there but the whales are the greatest thing.
