We had a great time during this trip, the guides were very friendly and helpful finding whales and dolphins but also respectful with them. We had the great luck to... read more spot a huge pod of pilote whales (grind whales) which was a unique experience, we also saw some harbour porpoises and dolphins. Even if we wouldn't have seen any whales, the rib boat ride would have been a highlight on its own! Especially the high speed phases and the heavy curves at the end of the tour were very entertaining!
I would definitely recommend this tour with the Katla team and would do this again the next time I visit Reykjavík. More

  Unfortunately, due tot he coronavirus, Iceland was empty of tourists when we visited and this tour ended up being a private one for us.

Katla whale watching is run... read more by a father and son. We were very received and given warm clothing for the trip. We saw humpback whales, minke whales, dolphins, puffins, seagulls and arctic terns. We went to an island where the birds nested. We also visited a building in Reykjavik from the shore and a nearby town. The guide gave us a lot of information about each of them from feeding habits to mating and nesting habits. The dolphins were very playful around the boat and were showing off some tricks and made the ride a lot more interesting. During the trip, our guides were very keen to make sure we were comfortable with the ride and that we could see as much of the whales. They also captured a lot of photos and videos which they later shared with us for free. Our trip ended up lasting longer than 2 hours, just so that we could also see the minke whales that appeared on our way back. Once we returned and shared photos, our guide also helped us a lot with planning the remainder of our trip and we met their sweet and very naughty dog.

Based on my searches, Katla whale watching offers the best price for this trip. It was truly a 5 star experience!
