Amazing 99% whale, dolphin or seal sighting success.

The tour that takes place within the majestic mountains and in the picturesque landscape of Eyjafjordur in North Iceland. The speed gives us an excellent opportunity to go further and sail through a wider area.
Between April 15th and August 15th the puffins are abundant in the fjord and we are likely to see them on our tour.
The thrill of going fast on the water is not to be ignored and you can expect great excitement and a wonderful whale watching adventure. Arctic Sea Tours offer passengers suspension seats, which makes this tour safer and gives you more comfort. They are scientifically proven to provide better Shock Mitigation than any other seats. Suspension seats reduce the risk of injuries and physical fatigue.

What a way to see whales

5.00We had a great trip with Arctic Sea Tours. I had booked the trip a few months previously but there were only 6 people on our trip. They kitted us out with flotation suits and life jackets and briefed us on the rib. The seats were very comfortable. We encountered humpback whales quickly and on multiple occasions. The guide was very knowledgeable on the individuals and explained really well about them. When we returned to the base, they asked where we were heading next and recommended us Laki tours which was an excellent recommendation.
One of the best whale watching opportunities in Iceland!

5.00This is an outstanding family-operated company in Dalvik, which is much less well-known than Husavik and overall provided a much better experience. Their rib boats are extremely comfortable, with suspension seats (very helpful in bumpy waters), and they encourage guests to get up and move around while stopped at sightings (something most of the other Iceland companies I tried did not allow). We went with the 11 a.m. tour and had such a great time that we came back for the midnight sun whale watch the same day (you get a discount for doing so!). Both times, we saw 3-4 humpback whales and 3-4 minke whales being relatively active. We really liked that we didn't stay with one whale for an hour (as we did in Husavik) and instead went in search of other whales and experiences. You can tell the captain really knows the area and has great skill in locating the whales. The midnight sun tour provided some beautiful lighting, and we had the strange of experience of seeing the sun go down around midnight and rise as we were driving home at 2 a.m.
Always do!

5.00Great experience, have been with the late boat of 23 hours. They know exactly where the whales are and had 10 around us. Magical experience to remember

5.00Great outing. The zodiac principle has the advantage of being as close as possible to Moby-dic without disturbing her too much. In addition, adjectives such as welcoming, warm, friendly and great specialists are the keywords of the organizing team. Black globicephalus, humpback whale made us full of it. To be repeated without moderation, especially with this agency.

5.00It was a great experience. The guides were happy to share information about the whales. .We have spotted two whales and enjoyed the speedy ride in the boat.
It was very cold - dress warm and make sure your hat won't blow off!

5.00Amazing trip - we were so lucky to see many whales up very close to the boat! Well organised, they provide the suit and life jacket and they are experts in whales. Lovely team, super helpful. Good facilities at the ticket office including parking, petrol and clean toilets. We saw whales within a few minutes and throughout the trip. The rib is much more comfortable than it looks!
Fantastic whale watching tour!

5.00We booked the Whale watching tour on the speedboat in end of May. This is not primetime whale season but the staff of Arctic See Tours is skilled and knowledgable and we were able to see multiple humpbags up close. The boat allows you to get to the whale quickly after it is sighted but the crew is very respectful to the animals and turns of the engine well in advance of reaching it allowing the whales to come close, you still have to get lucky with the character of the whale and how willing it is to stay to the surface and get close to the boat. Given the scenery of the the fjord the trip on the water with the boat alone was already worth the price. I would definitely recommend it. I went on a cold (close to freezing) but sunny and dry day.
