If you go whale watching in Iceland — make it count.
Express Whale Watching with Arctic Sea Tours is built for those who want more than a quiet boat ride. It is designed to give you a faster, closer, and more exciting experience — without compromising comfort or safety.
Using high-performance RIB boats, we reach the whale areas quickly. If whales are spotted anywhere in the fjord, we can respond immediately. That efficiency means one thing for you: a very high chance of encountering whales and more time experiencing them up close.
Our 13-meter RIB boats are built in England by Ring Powercraft, part of Arksen, and designed by Mike Ring, with over 50 years of expertise in high-performance powerboats.
These are not typical tour boats. They are purpose-built for speed, control, and stability in real ocean conditions — giving you an experience that is both exciting and secure.
Every guest is equipped with suspension seating from Ullman Dynamics, developed by Dr. Johan Ullman.
These seats are engineered to absorb shock and reduce strain on the body, based on decades of research and used by professionals worldwide. The difference is immediate: even at speed, the ride remains comfortable and controlled.
So while the tour delivers real speed and energy, you stay supported and safe throughout.
Speed is not just about excitement — it is about access.
Our boats allow us to quickly reach active whale areas and adapt to real-time sightings. If whales move, we move. This flexibility is a key reason why our express tours consistently deliver strong whale encounters.
And once you are there, the experience is on another level. Sitting low on the water, you are at eye level with the whales — not observing from a distance, but fully part of the moment.
This is not just another whale watching tour.
It is a high-performance, high-value experience designed to give you the best possible chance to see whales, combined with the excitement of the open ocean and the confidence of world-class equipment.
If you are going whale watching in Iceland — go with a boat designed to give you the maximum experience.
