Whale & Dolphin Watching under the Midnight Sun

Activity Details

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

Cruising away from the coast of Akureyri, you'll watch in awe as the waters begin to move in a curious way... is it the sea currents? Is it the tides? As you enjoy your boat trip, whales and dolphins will begin to appear, popping their heads up between waves and playing alongside you.

If the waters are calm, your captain will turn off the boat's motors so that you can benefit from the silence to hear the sounds of the whales and the birds as they fly overhead. With the magic of spending an evening under the unique midnight sun, this unforgettable experience will leave you speechless. At the end of the activity, you'll make your way back to the original departure point after 2 to 4 hours.

Whale Sightings

Whales are fairly unpredictable creatures, and the number of whales spotted can vary depending on factors such as ocean currents, winds, and weather conditions at the time. The Arctic climate can change very quickly, which directly influences the animals' behavior.

Please note that the duration of the tour may vary depending on the weather and the time needed to locate the whales. In any case, the activity is always carried out with the utmost respect, without invading or disturbing their natural habitat.
