[ EXPRESS WHALE ]

## Arctic Sea Tours has offered whale watching tours since 2009. 

We sail out from **Dalvik** close to Akureyri in North Iceland.. 

In Dalvik, there are two options for whale watching, with a traditional fishing boat or in a fast and safe Express Whale Watching speedboat. Arctic Sea Tours offers suspension seats on a RIB boat which are scientifically proven to provide better Shock Mitigation than any other seats, making it more comfortable and safer for you.

Our location is **66°N close to the Arctic** circle which lies just north of Iceland and through Grimsey island. So if you're looking to cross the **Arctic Circle**, search for puffins, learn about the local culture & history, or if you're simply just looking for a good time, join us on an adventure!
