" Very good tour guide. Very enthusiastic. On the water it's cold so be prepared. No guarantee of seeing whales but coastal view was great also "

" Staff was really friendly and the whales were fantastic. We got all the time information where we can spot whales.
The guide talked English with strong accent and microphone was too quiet, so the guiding was hard to hear and understand. Time on the boat was quite long. "

" Nothing wrong with this company. Very knowledgeable guide. Just the whales did not turn up. Got a free ticket that lasts for 2 years as compensation. Well, maybe. "

" Great customer service. We went there and although we ended up not booking due to our limited budget. They still gave us a lot of useful information and even helped us with some questions we had about how to organize our trip. we met a few folks who where heading back from the tour and only heard positive feedback. We were hoping on booking one with them at the end of our trip since it seemed to be worth it butwe ended staying at other places longer than expected. So for their customer service I do recommend this company as well as for their honesty and their prices seemed pretry good compared to others. "

" 2 stars for the really lovely staff on the boat. The guide was charming and informative. The below-deck employee did a little of everything, and was incredibly helpful when about half of the passengers got seasick. Yes, that's right. The boat presumably goes straight out on its path regardless of waves. My 3 kids were sick within about 15 minutes of departure, and I was sick in less than 1/2 hour (this made the next 2-1/3 to 3 hours of the ride excruciating). There were so many people throwing up that the below-deck girl was run ragged trying to clean up. All that for seeing a tiny glimpse of part of a whale, and just a peek of a dolphin.
I know this is a business and so they want to run their cruises no matter what. But if the sea is rough, there has to be some consideration of either going a different route, or alerting customers about the conditions. "

" This is in the old harbor which is just walking distance from Reykjavík city centre. There are many whale watching operators that operate out of here and this is one of the larger operators. You will go a few miles off the coast for two hours and you will see whales, dolphins, some puffins flying around. They will provide overalls at no charge of you like to stay dry and warm. The ships are fairly large with inside and outside seating and unless it's raining you won't get wet. "

" Had a great experience going whale watching with Elding tours. Very good guide on the boat, everything felt very good and organized. And as a bonus we saw both whales and dolphins on our tour. The guide on this tour was super informative and knew a lot about the wildlife around the bay. "

" If you enjoy spending time on a boat and are ok with knowing you may not see any whales, do it. It was nice to spend some time at sea and see Reykjavik from the water. We saw lots of mink whales and some dolphins. Dress warmly, though you will get to borrow some very warm overalls too. It's a pretty big boat so you won't get too close to the animals so maybe bring binoculars if you have them. "

" We had an absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget. We got very close to three humpbacks and a minke whale and saw many seabirds. Our guide, Hanna, was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and easy to understand. The company is extremely careful not to disturb or endanger these animals in any way and are strong advocates for high standards of environmental protection. I would recommend an Elding whale watching tour to anyone. "
