Thrilling 2-Hour Midnight Whale-Watching Tour from Isafjordur

Experience the beauty of some of Iceland's most adorable sea creatures amid the fascinating midnight sun on this thrilling whale-watching tour from Isafjordur. This two-hour adventure takes travelers to the waters and close to the whales at midnight, with the sun setting on the horizon.

The action begins when you meet your friendly and expert guide at Sjoferdir at 9:30 in the evening. From there, you'll ride a spacious boat that will take you to the best spots in Isafjordur fjord to watch different kinds of whales.

The key to a successful whale-watching adventure is to get close to the whales without causing any disturbance. With the experience of the boat's captain, you can expect to reach the best spots without driving the whales away.

Midnight whale-watching offers a unique opportunity to witness these majestic creatures under the glow of the midnight sun. From late May to early August, Iceland's near-continuous daylight creates a different atmosphere perfect for late-night adventures.

The Isafjordur fjord is home to various whale species led by minke and humpback whales. Minke whales are the most common, though they tend to be quite shy and elusive, rarely approaching boats.

Meanwhile, humpback whales are among the most iconic, curious, and impressive whale species in Icelandic waters, particularly during summer. These majestic creatures are known for their acrobatic displays and are easily recognizable by their massive size and long pectoral fins.

One of the most thrilling behaviors exhibited by humpback whales is breaching, where they propel out of the water and crash back down with a spectacular splash. Be sure to have your camera ready once the humpback whales appear and take many shots of these creatures as they flash their tails while diving. Aside from whales, you may also see porpoises and dolphins playing in the water.

During the tour, the guide will provide insights into the behavior and biology of the whales. This allows you to better understand and appreciate these incredible animals. Moreover, the midnight setting also often means fewer crowds, offering a more intimate experience with nature.

While enjoying the visual spectacle, you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea and some light refreshments. At the end of the midnight sun adventure, the boat will take you back to the pier as you bring the unforgettable memories of your Icelandic whale-watching experience.
