Can you imagine anything more magical than seeing whales and dolphins swimming in the waters around Iceland under the incredible light of the midnight sun? See for yourself on this boat trip from Akureyri.

Whale & Dolphin Watching under the Midnight Sun

Picture it: you're in Iceland, it's summer, and the sun is beginning to turn the sky vibrant shades of orange. At 8:30 pm, you'll meet at the Oddeyrarbót floating pier, where your boat will be ready to set sail for a unique experience of whale and dolphin watching under the midnight sun.

Cruising away from Akureyri, you'll observe whales and dolphins appearing, surfacing between waves and playing alongside the boat. If the waters are calm, the captain will turn off the boat's motors to allow you to hear the sounds of the whales and birds overhead. This will be an unforgettable experience under the midnight sun. After the activity, you'll return to the original departure point.

Wildlife watching

Keep in mind that these are wild animals and are unpredictable. The visibility of whales and dolphins may vary depending on ocean currents, wind, and climate. In the unlikely event that you do not see any whales or dolphins, you will receive a voucher to redo the tour within the next two years.
