Overview

This is the original small-group RIB boat tour from Akureyri. Join us for a thrilling 2-hour adventure zooming the fjord between the magnificent mountains along with our best and most experienced guide and skipper.

We will travel the fjord in search for seabirds and whales that reside in the fjord. Once we've caught a sight of the wildlife, we will be sure to maintain a safe and respectable distance - in our experience, this provides the best quality encounter, for both whale and watcher!
