• A private boat trip in the impressive Arnarfjordur fjord with views of the Westfjords Alps, fjords and coastline
• Opportunities to see various species of whales, birdlife and seals
• An option to try sea angling if you are interested
Our whale watching tour is a two-hour trip taking place in Arnafjordur, one of the most beautiful fjords in the Westfjords.
It takes only 15-20 minutes to sail from the Bíldudalur harbour to the whale watching area. The boat is a comfortable cruiser with a capacity of 7 passengers, allowing for a comfortable and intimate experience.
The waters of Arnarfjordur are home to up to 20 species of whales including humpbacks, minke whales, beak whales and dolphins.
This area is known as the ”Westfjord Alps” so you will be able to enjoy beautiful natural landscapes throughout the tour. Relax and enjoy the ocean air on deck or sit inside and enjoy a discussion with our experienced local captain en route.
On our journey back to shore we offer a chance to discover the rich fishing grounds of the fjord and there you can try your luck for catching cod, haddock or other species if time and weather allow.
Please note
Whales are wild animals so we cannot guarantee that you will see them. However, we will try our best and irrespective, it will be a great day out in the nature.
