Booking FAQs

Tours may be rescheduled or canceled if the weather turns severe. Whale sightings, while common, can never be guaranteed in the wild. We need to keep it that way to protect their natural freedom Children under 7 can join free of charge but must remain under close adult supervision. Plan to arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure for a smooth boarding process. If your tour yields no whale sightings, you’re welcome to return on another day at no extra cost.

Although warm overalls will be provided, dress in warm, layered clothing and carry a windproof, waterproof jacket. The weather on Skjálfandi Bay can shift drastically. Opt for sturdy, non-slip shoes that keep you steady on the deck. A hat, gloves, and scarf go a long way on this breezy bay. Bring a camera or binoculars if you want to capture close-up moments, but avoid flash to keep the experience gentle for the whales.

The Andvari is wheelchair accessible. Please contact the tour operator prior to arrival. The tour is not recommended for pregnant guests or those with back or neck concerns.

For safety and space reasons, large bags, suitcases, and bulky luggage can’t be taken onboard. Alcohol, drugs, or boarding under the influence are strictly prohibited. Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the vessel. Pets must stay ashore, except for registered service animals.
