North Iceland Tour Combines Whale Watching Adventure with Northern Lights Hunt
A full-day combined excursion in North Iceland is offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience both marine wildlife and the aurora borealis in a single itinerary. The tour operates from Akureyri and highlights two of the region’s most iconic natural attractions across sea and sky.
The day begins in Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, where travellers embark on a classic whale watching cruise. From a comfortable vessel equipped with indoor and outdoor seating, guests can observe whales and seabirds while enjoying hot drinks and guided commentary on local marine life.
In the evening, the focus shifts from ocean to sky with a guided Northern Lights tour departing from Akureyri. Expert guides use real-time weather and aurora forecasts to select optimal viewing locations away from city lights, increasing the chance of witnessing the natural display.
Although sightings of whales and the aurora are dependent on natural conditions, the experience is designed to maximize opportunity through flexible scheduling and expert guidance. Small group sizes ensure a more personal atmosphere, with a free rejoin option offered if conditions prevent sightings, making the journey both reliable and memorable.

Customer Reviews
So we didn’t actually go into the museum because we’d just been to see the excellent lava experience next door but the whole place seems very professional and the owners filmed all their own footage so definitely was very tempted except we plan to see our own Aurora and we didn’t want to jinx it by watching it in 4K. Having said that, Anna, behind the counter was absolutely lovely and very helpful and pointed us to the best lobster soup restaurant in Reykjavík - seabaron
We visited Aurora Reykjavik in person, so we could get the best and most up to date information about the lights. We wanted to be sure of the best possibility the lights would be out on the day we booked. They gave us plenty of valuable information and were so helpful. We immediately booked the SuperJeep tour for that night and we were not disappointed! The booking allowed us a tour of the Northern Lights Centre, which I'd recommend before going out to search for them. Be patient on the tour and be prepared to wait. It's like fishing! When it finally shows, it was worth the wait! Once the lights showed, the hot chocolate came out like a reward for patience. 😁 The tour guides were great and also took photos for us, and of us. These were provided free. Highly recommend the SuperJeep tour over the bus. Fantastic!
Very informative and learnt lots about the Northern Lights. Particularly enjoyed the selfie photos with a Northern Light scene behind us and free too! There’s a cafe and toilets there too. Staff were welcoming and friendly and advised/guided us to a nearby bus stop on return back to the hotel in the city.
