Discover one of Árskógssandur's best-kept secrets! Step aboard our traditional oak boat and experience the tranquillity of whale watching in these incredible scenic surroundings.
Whale-Watching Experience
We'll meet at the agreed time at Kaldi Hotel in Árskógssandur, a small fishing village located very close to Akureyri. Once there, we'll climb onboard a traditional Icelandic oak boat ready to set sail.
When we're far enough away from the coast, you'll be able to start enjoying this amazing experience. There is nothing quite like seeing whales in their natural environment and the turquoise waters of Eyjafjörður are the perfect setting for these marine creatures.
While you watch the giant animals in awe, our expert guide will explain more about them, so not only will you see them swim and jump, but you'll also understand why they behave the way they do. Plus, to make this experience even more special, you'll enjoy a hot chocolate accompanied by a cinnamon roll on board. Delicious!
After this once-in-a-lifetime whale-watching experience, we'll sail back to Árskógssandur.
Whale Sighting
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.
