100% Humpback whale sightings in 2023
In 2023, our whale watching tours from Árskógssandur recorded an astounding 100% sighting rate of majestic humpback whales. However, the truth is that we can never guarantee a sighting on a tour because we sail in the wild, unpredictable nature. The exciting part is that we never know what to expect in wildlife – some whales are more curious than others and come closer to the boat. We always strive to give our passengers the best tour possible, but the most important thing is to respect the animals.
Explore Árskógssandur
After a day filled with amazing whale sightings, jump into the outdoor hot tub overlooking the fjord, unwind your senses at unique beer baths, or retreat to the cozy hotel. All of this while admiring the breathtaking Icelandic landscapes.
