Luxury Yacht Cruise
from Reykjavík

  We had a great day. The Captain gave us information about the whales that we might see and he kent actively looping for us with us.

We saw... read more dolphins, minkee whales and finally a humpback from real close!!!

The boat was great. Good view, clean toilets and drinks on board.

  It was nice experience, worth the time and money I think. To hear more information about ocean wildlife while we were on a trip would be also nice.

  We saw a humpback whale right alongside our boat - amazing. Waterproof trousers and boots recommended as gets rather chilly and wet

  Fantastic boat and Knowledgeable and entertaining crew. Warm and comfortable and very cool looking craft with a bar. We managed to see porpoise in the way out and then we’re... read more treated to whales and dolphins during the trip. Highly recommend this experience. Well worth the upgrade having seen the other guys packed in like sardines on the decks of the other boats!

  I’ve been out twice with Harpa Yachts to look at whales. We had an amazing time, lovely boat, comfortable and warm inside with good sighting decks outside. Rugs... read more are provided if you get chilled and the hot chocolate is excellent. We saw several different whale species, some very close up. Minke whales (2), a humpback idling around giving lovely tail shots, some dolphins and porpoises. Puffins of course migrate in August so wasn’t expecting them. The smaller number on board is a real bonus, no feeling of being rushed or crushed. The captain and crew were great, kindly and efficient. The office is also efficiently run. What more can you want?

  Amazing experience, we saw 3 humpback whales and a few dolphins. The crew was very friendly and the yatch wasn't overcrowded.

  Amazing! It should be said that there are loads of Whale Watching tours available from the old Harbor you could choose any one of them and probably have a great... read more experience. The nice thing about them all is that they communicate with each other so that every single passenger gets the best experience and most likely sighting of whales.

We managed to see minke whales, dolphins, a porpoise and not just one but TWO humpback whales! Brilliant experience!

So why not just book any old tour? Well this is why you should pick this yacht cruise:

1. It’s smaller, more personal and much less crowded and much more comfortable than the others. There are limited spaces on this yacht compared to the other, larger vessels that leave the harbor. Many of these are jam packed with so many people that you’ll have more of a view of the back of someone’s head than you will the whales. You could go on an even more limited group size tour with a RIB boat but you sacrifice comfort. This yacht is the best of both worlds. Small enough so that it’s not rammed full of people and large enough (with enough amenities) that it’s a comfortable voyage. The added bar, indoor seating (for the journey home) and toilets make it brilliant for families.

2. The crew are superb! Yes they probably are on all other boats. But because it’s more personal, you get that added feel. And also, you’re not blazing through the water at a million knots in a RIB boat to not be able to catch any of the interesting facts and stories that the captain and crew tell.

3. The customer service. Unfortunately for us our first trip was cancelled because of the horrendous wind. But these guys were more than helpful and were happy to put us on the same tour, but just the next day. The fact that if you don’t see a whale too and a get a free ticket for the next day, that’s a bonus!

Highly recommended. Happy whale watching!
