Rekið af Elding Adventure at Sea
Um upplifunina
Experience the excitement of sailing into Iceland's longest glacial fjord as we look for whales and dolphins in the ever glowing Midnight Sun, on this 3 hr. Classic boat tour, available each summer from 15th June until 14th August.
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure as we set sail from Akureyri, with the towering Súlur mountain watching over us, and head into the breathtaking Eyjafjord. As we speed past the stunning landscapes, with the island of Hrísey to the north and charming towns dotting the shores, keep your eyes peeled for the rich variety of birdlife that fills the skies.
The real stars of the show are the majestic "Eyjafjord Humpback Whales", known for their spectacular breaches and tail slaps, which frequent these waters alongside other remarkable marine species such as minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and harbour porpoises, to name a few. Our high speed, specially modified whale watching ship ensures you won’t miss a moment of the action, offering unparalleled views from our cinema-styled platforms. With expert naturalists on hand to share their knowledge, this is your chance to experience the wild beauty of Iceland in a way few ever do!
Whether you're looking for a relaxing end to a busy day or the perfect start to an exciting night in town, the Midnight Sun Tour is ideal. And if you're in the mood for a light snack or drink, check out our onboard bar menu - we highly recommend the "Whale Punch"!
