Experience the excitement of zooming into Iceland's longest glacial fjord as we look for whales and dolphins in the ever glowing Midnight Sun, on this 2 hr. RIB boat tour available each summer from 15th June until 14th August.
With just 12 passengers per boat, this intimate adventure offers a personalised and up-close experience like no other. Our state of the art boats are designed for speed and agility, allowing us to navigate the fjord swiftly and increase your chances of spotting whales, dolphins, and a variety of bird species, all while respecting their natural environment.
Expertly led by our onboard naturalist and skilled captain, this tour is crafted for those who seek both the serenity of nature and the excitement of adventure, all under the mystical light of Iceland's evening sun.
A 2 hr. speed-boat whale watching tour starting from the floating pier in Akureyri, where we can get you faster and closer to the whales. As whales never fully sleep, you can expect the same chance to see them, as on our day tours! If you have a passion for nature and love for adventure or just want a romantic yet exciting night out, then this is the tour for you!
