Midnight Sun RIB Whale Watching Tour Brings Arctic Wildlife Close in Eyjafjörður


A high-speed RIB boat tour operating from Akureyri is offering visitors a unique way to experience whale watching under the Midnight Sun. Running during the summer season from mid-June to mid-August, the two-hour excursion takes passengers into Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest glacial fjord, where marine wildlife thrives in the extended Arctic daylight.


The tour departs from the floating pier in Akureyri and carries a maximum of 12 passengers per vessel, ensuring a small-group experience with close access to the action. Designed for both speed and precision, the custom-built RIB boats allow crews to reach optimal viewing areas quickly while maintaining minimal disturbance to marine life.


Guided by an experienced captain and a marine biologist, the journey combines adventure with education as passengers learn about the behaviour of whales, dolphins and seabirds. The surrounding fjord scenery, framed by mountains and calm Arctic waters, adds to the immersive nature of the experience.


Even under the soft glow of the Midnight Sun, sightings of whales remain highly likely due to their constant surface activity. The combination of extended daylight, expert guidance and intimate boat size creates a distinctive wildlife encounter that blends excitement, tranquillity and natural beauty in equal measure.
