RIB boat express: Whales, Eyjafjord and Akureyri
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!

We reserve the right to alter routes, itineraries or timetables of tours, adventure cruises or other day tours we operate as well as to change or cancel tour dates should the necessity arise. This includes irregularities due to adverse weather. The whale watching tours are operated in wild and unpredictable nature which means that sightings on a particular whale watching tour can never be guaranteed. In the unlikely event that no whales or dolphins are spotted during the whale watching tour we do not refund the tour price but offer a complimentary whale watching tour which is valid for two years. Minimum numbers apply. There is a small possibility of cancellation after confirmation if there is not enough passengers to meet requirements. In the event of this occurring, you will be offered an alternative or full refund.
