Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

Whale Watching from Reykjavik Harbour

Half day trip to see the whales from Reykjavík, Iceland.

The whales most frequently seen on tours with us are the Minke whales, Humpback whales, Dolphins and Porpoises other species are sometimes spotted.

We have excellent guides to tell you about your trip and describe what you can see and where to look, together with an introduction and safety guide.
We tell you about the seabirds and nature in the Faxaflói bay.  How much we see depends on the sea conditions and season, but our qualified guides are
always happy to try to answer all your questions.

Depending on the tide and sea we start or end the trip by going to either Akurey or Lundey islands, to watch the puffins (May 15.-Aug 15.)   No two whale watching trips are the same. We have to be flexible and organize your trip taking sea conditions, weather and seasons into account. We rarely have to go further than 15 km from the harbor.

For your comfort and warmth, we have special suits on board we can lend you to keep warm, but we do advise you to wear your warmest clothes  - hats, scarves, gloves etc – as it can get very cold (even on the warmest days) when the boat is moving to follow the whales.  We also offer hot drinks and soup in our on-board café.  Alternatively, you can sit inside the boat in the warmth, with large windows to watch the whales outside.

Each trip takes about 2,5 - 3,5 hours  - do join us.  We look forward to seeing you!

Fun for the children

Elding wants to make sure that the children are entertained during the trip. Therefore, there is a special children’s area inside the boat where they can play. The young ones can have fun playing with plush whales, puffin toys, coloring books and children’s books on whales and sea birds in many languages.
