What to expect
Ísafjarðardjúp
As you board the sturdy vessel, you'll feel the anticipation building in the crisp Arctic air. The captain, seasoned in the art of tracking marine wildlife, will greet you warmly, sharing their passion for these majestic creatures and the surrounding environment. Leaving the harbor behind, the boat glides smoothly across the glassy surface of the fjord, offering panoramic views of the rugged coastline. Keep your eyes peeled as seabirds wheel overhead, signaling the presence of marine life below. In 2023 we had a 100% chance of seeing humpback whales. If we are lucky maybe the occasional minke whale, orca or dolphin. Returning to Isafjordur harbor, you carry with you memories that will last a lifetime, a testament to the unparalleled beauty and biodiversity of Iceland's wild waters.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
