This exciting tour begins at the harbor, where we will board our exciting RIB boats, ideal for accessing the wonders of Icelandic marine-life. RIB boats are excellent for wildlife watching thanks to their low design, which allows us to get up close and personal with the creatures while keeping a safe enough distance to not interfere with the animals.

From the harbor, we will travel to Kollafjordur bay, stopping off at the picturesque island of Akurey, known as the Puffin Island and famous for the many bird species that live there. Here you will see eiders and arctic tern, along with cute puffins, who nest on the island. This makes it perfect for everyone, although, we find that children and families especially enjoy seeing these adorable little birds.

Then we will push towards the whale watching area, bouncing up and down as we cut through the waves, during an exhilarating ride, which you are bound to enjoy. Whale watching is not an exact science and there is no guarantee that we will see a specific type of whale, however, our expert captains know the seas well and will endeavor to find whales using local knowledge to maximize our chance of finding them.
