Isafjordur Fjord Whale Watching

Are you a wildlife fanatic? If so, this whale-watching tour in Isafjordur, Iceland could be the perfect day out for you. Spot whales and other wildlife over 2.5 hours on the waters of an Icelandic fjord.

Description

Meet us at Borea Adventures Gear Storage in Isafjordur. From here, we'll depart on a fully-fitted boat called Síf and make our way out onto the Isafjordur fjord. As we sail along, we'll look for the blows of whales. Our expert captain will take us as close as possible to the whales without disturbing them. We may see humpback whales and minke whales, and possibly even killer whales (orcas) that occasionally pass through the area.

In addition to whales, we might see dolphins and porpoises, as well as the iconic puffin. These birds nest on Aedey and Vigur islands. The boat's crew will share information about the local flora and fauna.

These outings are also used for research purposes, so we encourage you to take photos of the whale's flukes for identification. You'll gain insight into whale research by the end of this tour. After between 1.5 and 3.5 hours on the Síf boat, we'll conclude this experience on the Isafjordur fjord.

Whale Watching

Animals are unpredictable. The number of whales we see will depend on factors such as sea currents, winds, and weather conditions. Arctic weather can change rapidly, influencing animal behavior. Please note that the duration of the tour may vary depending on these conditions and the time needed to locate the whales, while always respecting their natural space.
