Whale Watching Adventure in Dalvík: Iceland’s Arctic Marine Experience


Whale watching from Dalvík near Akureyri offers a remarkable sea adventure in the stunning landscapes of North Iceland. Operated through the scenic Eyjafjörður fjord, this journey takes place beneath the dramatic peaks of the Tröllaskagi Peninsula, just south of the Arctic Circle, creating a breathtaking natural backdrop for marine exploration.


The calm fjord waters provide ideal conditions for observing Iceland’s rich marine life, making Dalvík one of the country’s premier whale watching destinations. With consistently high sighting success and strong guest reviews, the tour offers travelers a peaceful yet thrilling encounter with nature in its purest form.


Visitors frequently spot humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, minke whales, and harbor porpoises during the excursion.

Booking a classic whale watching tour from Dalvik with ArcticSear tours was indeed a good decision which I can recommend to others. The tour takes you around Eyjafjörður Fjord past Hrisey island. The smaller boat typically identifies first the whale and communicates this to the bigger boats. We have majorly followed the same humpback whale but it was interesting to closely observe the behaviour of such creatures whilst they're feeding and breathing at specific and replicable time intervals. Fascinating experience! N.B. We have in reality booked an 11am tour just the day before and in the evening we have received that this tour was cancelled and were offered to move on the 9am tour. I was flexible so I accepted but could have been potentially an issue. The weather deteriorated further in the afternoon so ultimately was a good decision.

Great Experience. Hosts are very fluent in English and take the Time to Hunt for good pictures. You will get weather-resistable Overalls as well as free hot chocolate and cinnamon Rolls on Board 😋

Great experience. The staff was friendly and nice. We were offered proper outfit, check in was easy. The tour itself was simply amazing, suggestive and wonderful. We were able to see a lot of wales, even if we took the big boat we were able to see them very closed by. The facility has bathrooms and it's warm. Incredibile experience.
