Whale Watching in Ísafjarðardjúp

Join us for an unforgettable adventure on our fully equipped boat! Departing from Ísafjörður, we’ll embark on a journey into the breathtaking Ísafjarðardjúp fjord. Keep your eyes peeled for the distant blows of whales, as our expert captain navigates the waters to bring you as close as possible—always with care to avoid any disturbance.

The fjord is teeming with life, offering the chance to spot humpback and minke whales, as well as dolphins and porpoises. Among these, the humpback whale stands out, as it often flashes its tail when diving—an awe-inspiring sight you won’t want to miss! Additionally, you’ll likely encounter puffins bobbing on the water, as they nest on the nearby islands of Vigur and Æðey.

On rare occasions, orcas also pass through the area, adding to the excitement. Accompanying you on this trip will be our experienced boat crew and a knowledgeable guide, eager to share fascinating insights about the local wildlife and environment.

We also use these tours to contribute to ongoing research on the area’s whale population. Guests are encouraged to participate by photographing whale flukes (tails) to assist with identification efforts.

While we enjoy a high rate of sightings, please remember that these are wild animals, and we cannot guarantee whale sightings on every tour.
