Restroom Ratings | Hafsulan Whale Watching Boat

Hafsulan Whale Watching Boat - Reykjavik

During a particularly effervescent whale-watching adventure I had the opportunity to visit this tiny restroom located below the deck in the comfortable dining area of the Hafsulan Whale Watching Boat. Unfortunately, due to the amount of turbulance we were experiencing, with every crashing wave and churning swell, the toilet coughed out what water remained in it, like a giant minke whale coming to the surface to clear his blowhole. As I washed my hands, we hit a rather large wave, throwing my body into the corner while the toilet simultaneously belched an eruption of water onto my leg. Later on in our journey, I witnessed two different people vomiting over the edge of the boat and many more awkwardly running toward the restroom to sacrifice their dignity – before it came spewing from their mouth in the form of a partially digested dinner. Let’s hope they can flush quickly before the toilet erupts again. The floor was covered in water and chunks of toilet paper (but thankfully no other chunks), remnants from the vengeful blowhole of a toilet. Men brave enough to sit down on their journey may find they’ll have to jimmy-rig the toilet seat back on, which rested behind the toilet, rocking back and forth with the boat – broadcasting an audible clatter through the whole cabin. In calmer waters you may be fine, but expect a powerful spray on your behind in anything more than a bluster.
