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.

Konrad - It was an amazing experience. We saw many whales. Guides were great and hot chocolate was much needed as it was a frost but beautiful day. I would recommend it to anyone. We were also told that thanks to our experience being in the fiord we had nice and calm sea unlike those watching from Husavik so this is surely something to consider when choosing location.

Árskógssandur - A Whale Watching Delight! - Originally booked a trip out of Húsavik. Received an email advising that the weather would be unfavorable from Húsavik. The email also gave alternate options. We had to adjust our plans a bit and were rewarded with a wonderful boat trip on calm waters from Árskógssandur. We saw multiple humpbacks!

Fantastic, unforgettable experience - It was just so amazing. We were told to sail from Árskógssandur as the water is quieter than from Husavik. We saw eight squirrels, very close. A whale was swimming under our boat. Very friendly staff, good explanations, hot cocoa and cinnamon. Unforgettable.

Expertly organised, very professional and enjoyable whale watching experience - The entire whale watching experience was very well organised and professional. The team both on the boat and on land were friendly and organised, and the equipment was excellent. It’s a gorgeous spot, and very convenient.

Fantastic experience - Booked with some fear of not being able to get any sightings, instead things went very differently. The excursion on the boat was guessed as we could observe several humpback whales roaming near the inlet. Thanks also to the Guide for the comprehensive information.
