Why Dalvík is one of the Best Whale Watching Locations in the World

Whales tend to love the North-Icelandic waters. There is a volcanic fissure in the ocean ground that allows some heat to filter up from the deep. Zooplankton and the krill flourish in this mixing of warm and cold currents in the sheltered Eyjafjörður bay. This creates especially rich feeding grounds that attract all kinds of the whales.

Thanks to these favorable conditions, Dalvík is an extremely popular area for whale watching. The chance of seeing whales exceeds an incredible 98 percent, with over 99 percent sighting rates in summer! This makes the Dalvík whale watching area one of the best in the world.

Where to find us

 

We have been observing whales since 2009.

Beginning in 2009 with a small oak boat accommodating 15 passengers, we now operate two oak boats with capacities of 60 and 42 passengers, along with two fast RIB boats for 12 passengers each. We eagerly anticipate welcoming you on board and feel as though we are embarking on a new adventure with every whale watching tour.

Once in a lifetime experience

Bought tickets online, received the confirmation very soon. Organisation was exceptional. We booked an 1.5 tour on a speedboat. It was great, we saw whales from a 10-15 m distance. This experience is indescribable! The staff is very polite and friendly, explains everything. The boat was comfortable, the overalls were provided.
I would recommend everyone to include whale watching in their program while traveling through Iceland!

Very efficient and on time tour. They gave great explanations, but not too talkative. We saw at least four whales multiple times. The hot chocolate at the end was a nice treat.

Fantastic tour! Seen both whales and dolphins. Highly reccomend to take the express tour as you can cover more space in the same time.
