The scenery on this tour is a real feast for the eyes. Your trip begins in Dalvík, which is on the picturesque ford of Eyjafjörður, surrounded by some of the steepest mountains in Iceland. The name Eyjafjörður means island fjord and the tiny island of Hrísey is within Eyjafjörður. From the water, you will see some really special and unique views of the fjord. This tour makes it possible for you to see much more scenery than you would ever have thought possible in just two hours.
This arctic rib boat whale watching tour combines the adrenaline generating the experience of going fast on the water with the exhilaration of searching for whales. The speed of the rib boat gives us the opportunity to search over a wider area in our quest to find those giants of the deep, the largest mammals on the planet. Imagine the sheer thrill of going fast on the water around Eyjafjörður coupled with the excitement of seeking whales.
Guaranteed whale or dolphin sightings all year round. On the very rare occasion, we do not see any whales, we will offer you the chance to revisit the tour!

In total, there are more than 24 species of whale (or cetacean) species, including dolphins and porpoises, found in Icelandic waters.
With such a diverse range of aquatic life, it’s no surprise that Iceland is one of the top whale watching locations in the world.
The most common species are Humpback and Minke whales, Orcas, White-beaked dolphins, Harbor porpoises, and we occasionally see Fin and Blue whales. Whale watching guide will tell you everything you need to know.
Meet on location means travelling to the location of the tour yourself and then meeting our tour guides rather than being picked up and taken to the location.
As this is a wildlife experience, sightings cannot be guaranteed. However, for the past 3 years, our success rates have been up to 99.8% so the chances are very good!
On the very rare occasion we do not see any whales, we will offer you the chance to revisit the tour.
