What's included?

Expertly guided whale watching tour

Warm overalls to keep you warm

Dress warmly for our northern fjord. Bring warm outdoor clothing such as a wool / fleece sweater, a hat, gloves and sturdy shoes are recommended. Feel free to borrow our thermal overalls on board if needed!

Cancellation policy

We will charge a cancellation fee of 100% if booking is cancelled 1 day or less before the event.

Please note

Hólmasól is the first high speed whale watching ship in Iceland, equipped with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, lavatories and an on board bar & cafeteria. The specially designed viewing platform on the front of the ship is ideal for wildlife watching. *Depending on the conditions and booking status of the day, we may use one of three different sized vessels for this tour. Please check with our team on site.

Daily departures from the floating pier in front of Hof Cultural and Conference Centre in Akureyri each summer, in June and July! With plenty of car parking and within easy walk of any accommodation in town, this tour provides the perfect blend of convenience and adventure, offering you the chance to explore the wonders of the fjord's marine life in the ever glowing Midnight Sun!

Although our success rate is high, the cetacean abundance is unpredictable and varies with the food availability of our shores. In case no whales or dolphins make an appearance on the tour, we will offer you a complimentary ticket to try again within 2 years!
