Terms and conditions
Weather conditions
All our tours are weather dependent, and may be subject to cancellations. Our captains will make their decisions based on many years of experience and always keeping in mind our passenger safety and comfort.
We can reschedule you for another day, but please call us to make sure we have availability next time you want to try.
In case of cancellations due to unfavorable weather conditions and you are not able to reschedule, you will receive a full refund (note: if you are using your “free ticket to try again” this does not apply)
We can never guarantee sightings as we are working with wild nature and animals. We always do our best to provide a great service which includes taking you out on sea to explore the nature and its wonders out in Faxaflói Bay.
Sightings - What if I don't see anything on my tour?
If your Puffin or Whale Watching tour does not encounter any whales, dolphins of puffins, we offer you another ticket for free.
Please note that we cannot guarantee a tour on the next day/evening, it all depends on weather and sea conditions.
We have had 100% success on our Puffin Watching & Sea Angling tours, however if there ever comes a day where you don’t see any puffins or there are no fish caught, we will offer you another free tour!
Change in reservation
If you wish to change your reservation we kindly ask that you give us advance notice, we are very flexible and will help with any alterations or changes you would like to make.
Cancellation policy
If you cancel your tour 24 hours prior to departure we will fully refund your ticket.
