About Arctic Sea Tours

Arctic Sea Tours offer whale watching from Dalvik close to Akureyri in North Iceland. In Dalvik, there are two options for whale watching, with a traditional fishing boat where you can also try sea angling and a barbecue serving the fish of the day or in a fast and safe RIB whale watching speedboat. Arctic Sea Tours is the only operator offering suspension seats on a RIB boat which are scientifically proven to provide better Shock Mitigation than any other seats, making it more comfortable and safer for you.

We also offer exciting tours from our trusted partners in Reykjavik and the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. From Dalvik, we have a variety of other sea adventures such as sea angling (fishing), and day tours out to the Arctic island (a.k.a. the Puffin Island) Grimsey. Our location is 66°N close to the Arctic circle which lies just north of Iceland and through Grimsey island. So if you're looking to cross the Arctic Circle, search for puffins, learn about the local culture & history, or if you're simply just looking for a good time, join us on an adventure!

We operate licensed oak passenger boats, equipped according to strict standards set by the Icelandic Maritime Administration. We emphasize on personal service and small groups of passengers. We do our best to make your tour a special one and provide you with an unforgettable experience. We care greatly about the environment and animals around us and treat them with respect and caution, and ask that our visitors do the same.
