What we will do

In Akureyri, we board small rafts with a capacity of maximum 12 people and start a thrilling sea safari that will bring us face-to-face with the sea giants.
We sail along the Eyjafjordur, a deep narrow stretch of sea providing amazing views and surrounded by rocky slopes excavated by the glaciers and snowy peaks.
The fjord is home to a variety of sea life such as numerous species of whales, such as humpback and fin whales.
Our agile rafts are ideal for moving in the waters of the fjord as they enable us to cover a wider area while looking for whales, increasing our chance of seeing them.
With a bit of luck, we might spot the great mammals swimming nearby. The probability of spotting a whale in Akureyri 's waters are 95%, so keep your eyes peeled!
