Embark on an unforgettable adventure from the heart of Akureyri, where you'll get up close to the magnificent humpback whales of Eyjafjord on an exclusive RIB boat tour. With only 12 passengers per boat, we ensure an intimate and personalised experience, bringing you closer to the wildlife than ever before.
Our specially designed RIB boats are both fast and agile, allowing us to cover more ground quickly and maximise your chances of encountering whales, dolphins, and diverse bird species - all without disrupting their natural habitat.
Led by expert marine biologist guides and a highly trained captain, this tour is perfect for those with a deep passion for nature and a thirst for adventure!
Please dress according to weather and remember to bring a hat, gloves and sturdy footwear. You will be required to wear our thermal overalls (available up to size 3XL), as well as a life vest for the duration of the tour.
You are welcome to bring your sunglasses, phone or camera on board, but do so at your own risk. Bags are not permitted on the RIB boat, so ensure that whatever you bring with you fits around your neck or in your pocket! You can store your belongings in our office while you are on the tour.
Make your own way to the the floating pier Oddeyrarbót 2, next to the cultural centre HOF in Akureyri at least 30 min. prior to departure. The tour lasts 2 hours from start to finish and requires a minimum of 2 passengers for the tour to proceed. If the minimum is not met, you will have the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
For safety reasons, participants must be at least 145 cm tall and able to stand comfortably in our saddle-like seats. The tour may not be suitable during pregnancy and is not recommended for those with a history of back or knee injuries. Please consult with your doctor prior to booking this tour. Keep in mind that you are required to sign a safety waiver prior to departure, confirming that you are physically fit.
We abide by a Code of Conduct for responsible whale watching, thus each encounter is on the animals' terms and distance may be kept to minimise disturbance. In the event that no whales or dolphins are seen, we do not issue refunds, but you will be offered a complimentary ticket valid on our Classic Whale Watching tour, for 2 years.
