“We are overjoyed and feel like we‘re starting again even though we never really left. But when the people of the world stop travelling you get time to stop, think things over and look at what we‘ve achieved from a different perspective.

So, when the opportunity was brought up to acquire the company again, we didn‘t hesitate.“ says Freyr Antonsson CEO of Arctic Sea Tours.

Arctic Sea Tours has been operating in the whale watching business since 2009 from Dalvik in north Iceland. Currently, they operate two oak boats and one rhib boat.
