Review of: Big Whale Safari and Puffins Tour from Husavik
We went on a rib boat ride today with Jack to see the puffins
and whales. We saw dolphins and many humpback whales, two
were completely breaching at either side of the boat at the same
time, I can’t even describe the wonder at seeing whales flapping
their tails and fins in the water. Jack was knowledgeable and
the trip was much much more than I expected. I know they can’t
control the whales but they certainly put us in the centre of the
action numerous times. The minimum age for the rib boat is 6
and the office advised to ask on the day to see if she could go on
the rib, the captain agreed and I was so grateful as we could see
the normal boats going out and we were getting much closer. I
know it’s much more money, but I would have spent double that
for the experience we had today. It’s been my 8 year old son’s
dream to see whales since he was two and Gentle giants certainly
delivered. Outstanding!
