Beautiful whale tour in the fjord - We thought about where to go on a whale tour in Iceland for a while. Based on the weather forecast, the protection in the fjord and the very good price, we decided on this tour. And we were lucky: In addition to a brief look at porpoises, we were able to accompany several phases of the emergence of two minke whales on a beautiful and uncrowded boat, some from quite close range. This experience in such a quiet and beautiful setting was absolutely impressive!

A Breathtaking Experience – 10/10! - Our whale watching tour with North Sailing was hands down the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, the entire experience left us speechless in the face of nature’s grandeur. Originally, we planned to depart from Húsavík, but the team advised us to go from Árskógssandur instead, as there was increased whale activity in that area. And they were absolutely right! Thanks to their expert knowledge, we had the most incredible sightings, including the magnificent Forrest Hump, which is quite rare to spot in March! A special shoutout to our spotter, who was absolutely fantastic. His passion for what he does was truly inspiring, and his excitement was contagious! You could tell he genuinely loves his job, and his dedication made the experience even more unforgettable. If you're considering whale watching in Iceland, look no further. North Sailing delivers an unforgettable adventure that will stay with you forever. A solid 10/10 – highly recommended!

Best experience ever - We will never forget <3 - We had originally booked a whale watching tour in Húsavík, but two days before the tour, the North Sailing team reached out to let us know that there was a chance we might not see any whales up there. They kindly suggested that we consider a tour from Árskógssandur instead. Trusting their expertise, we decided to switch locations—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made! From start to finish, the experience was absolutely unforgettable. The staff were incredible—friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Our captain and crew were not only knowledgeable but also hilarious, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The highlight of the tour was, of course, seeing the whale—it was spectacular! Sailing through the longest fjord in Iceland, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, was an experience we will cherish forever. The combination of the stunning views, the fantastic crew, and the magical moment of seeing the whale made this tour one of the most memorable things we've ever done. A huge thank you to the North Sailing team for such a fantastic experience. We can’t recommend it enough!

A well organised and highly enjoyable tour - A thoroughly enjoyable couple of tours which were well organised with a knowledgeable guide and lots of space on a lovely vessel in a particularly beautiful bay with numerous whale sightings.

Iceland to see from the water! wonderful! - We felt part of our marine biologist’s research team in the great jumpsuit! The humpback whale exhaled and showed us its tail fin, I was very happy to see it!

Fantastic whale safari trip! ↓ - Absolutely fantastic trip, with the sweetest guides. We saw a lot of whales and there was plenty of space on the boat to move around

A great experience - It was a great experience - weather and fiord views were terrific and we did get to see several whales! Highly recommended but, obviously weather dependent.

Great Whale Watching Experience! - Really fun experience, saw a bunch of whales, staff were great, would totally recommend! They give you a big insulated overalls but you need gloves, hat and sunglasses for sure. They also serve hot chocolate and a pastry on the boat on your way back.

Best option for a Whale Watch in North Iceland - Our Whale watch from Arskogssandur with North Sailing was one of the highlights of our 18 day trip to Iceland. Our original plan was to go from Huskavik but since we were traveling around the Troll Peninsula we decided to do the whale watch from Arskogssandur, and it was fantastic. Such a relaxed atmosphere, it seemed like we had the entire fjord all to ourself, we saw 5 Humpback whales and even if we didn't see any whales the scenery would have been worth it, it helped that we had perfect weather.

Bad weather changed our sailing but it ended well - We had booked to go on a trip from Husavik. However, when we got to the check in desk, we were informed that the weather out at sea was very poor. It was raining, the sea was very rough and it was foggy making it difficult to spot the whales. We were given the option of still going on the trip or moving our trip to an afternoon sailing from Árskógssandur in the more sheltered Eyjafjörður fjord. Being very keen whale watchers, we were torn between sheltered seas with the chance to only see humpbacks or the rougher seas with the chance to see more species. After much debate we took the check in assistant's advice and went to Árskógssandur. We were not disappointed! The meeting place is in a hotel where you check in and then are taken to a room under the hotel to get kitted out with a warm all in one suit. Once on board there was plenty of space to move about or sit down. The crew are informative and do a great job at spotting the whales. We were lucky to see white-beaked dolphins which are rare visitors to the fjord and also several humpback whales. One humpback breached right near our boat and several others were spotted breaching in the distance. On the return trip the crew gave out hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls which were delicious. Thankfully the sea was a lot calmer than up in Husavik making the trip a more pleasant experience. All in all an excellent trip and I would highly recommend North Sailing. We hope to return one day to be able to take a trip from Husavik with the chance to see more species of whales.
