Overview

Whale watching from Dalvik close to Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. Arctic Sea Tours is dedicated to give you a truly fun sea adventure. We're proud to say that we have great sighting success and five stars on Cool Shore Excursions!

The whale watching takes place in the picturesque landscape of Eyjafjordur inside the majestic mountains of Tröllaskagi just short of the Arctic Circle. Join us on an enjoyable and exciting adventure at sea.

In Dalvík, you have an exceptionally good chance to encounter the great humpback whale and often we spot white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, the small harbour porpoises and sometimes even the majestic blue whale, fin whales or killer whales.

Overall, we have seen whales or dolphins in 98% of our whale watching tours!

On the very rare occasion, we do not see any whales, we will offer you the chance to revisit the tour.
