Árskógssandur Whale Watching

Discover one of Árskógssandur's hidden gems. Step aboard our traditional oak boat and enjoy whale watching in beautiful surroundings.

Whale-Watching Experience

We will meet at the agreed time at Kaldi Hotel in Árskógssandur, a fishing village near Akureyri. Once there, we will board a traditional Icelandic oak boat and set sail.

When we reach a sufficient distance from the coast, you will begin to enjoy this experience. Observing whales in their natural environment in Eyjafjörður's turquoise waters is unique. While you watch the whales, our expert guide will provide information about them, allowing you to understand their behavior. You will also be served hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll onboard.

After this whale-watching experience, we will return to Árskógssandur.

Whale Sighting

Whales are unpredictable, and the number sighted can vary due to ocean currents, winds, and weather conditions. The Arctic climate can change rapidly, affecting the animals' behavior.

Please note that the duration of the tour may vary depending on weather and the time needed to locate the whales. The activity is conducted with respect for their natural habitat.
