Whale Watching Eyjafjordur: From Arskogssandur

Step aboard our traditional oak boat and enjoy sailing in the calm seas of Eyjafjordur. This tour gives you the unique opportunity to encounter the great wildlife of North Iceland, including whales and seabirds, all under the guidance of our most qualified crew.

Humpback whales of Eyjafjordur
Playful humpbacks have found their summer dwelling in Eyjafjordur and are often seen on our tours. Other species with regular sightings are minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises. Last year, we were lucky with 100 percent sightings of humpback whales, so the chances of seeing whales during the tours are in your favor. But don’t forget, this is wild nature, and sightings are never guaranteed.

Warm overalls and refreshments for everyone
We offer warm overalls during the trip, and you can enjoy a steaming cup of hot cocoa and freshly baked cinnamon buns on the way home while listening to your guide tell you more about the magnificent creatures and share stories from the fjord.

Welcome to Arskogssandur
The picturesque village of Arskogssandur is located on the western shore of Eyjafjordur, Iceland, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the tranquil waters of the fjord. Arskogssandur is home to the excellent Beer Spa featuring the unique Beer Baths, an outside wooden hot tub, a sauna, and Strondin Bistro with a wonderful seaside view. From the harbor in Arskogssandur, you can also jump on the ferry to the beautiful Island of Hrisey. The journey takes around 15 minutes each way.
