Operated by Westtours, a highly reputable local tour operator with years of experience in the tourism industry, this tour offers an up-close and personal encounter with some of the most magnificent creatures of the sea.
Starting from the charming town of Ísafjörður in the Westfjords of Iceland, visitors will board a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) and set out on a thrilling journey into the open ocean to observe a variety of whales, including Minke, Humpback, and Blue whales, in their natural habitat.

In addition to whale watching, the tour includes a visit to nearby islands, where passengers can observe seals and a variety of seabirds. The guides will offer insight into the behavior and habitat of these animals, adding to the educational aspect of the tour.
The RIB Boat Whale Watching tour in Ísafjörður is perfect for visitors looking to experience the beauty and diversity of Iceland’s wildlife in a thrilling and immersive way. It is a great option for passengers visiting Ísafjörður by cruise ship, as the tour departs from the town’s harbor. This is an unforgettable adventure that will leave visitors with memories that will last a lifetime.
Please note that while this tour is designed to accommodate cruise ship passengers stopping in Isafjordur, we recommend that all passengers double-check the departure time to ensure it works with their schedule.
A RIB-boat is not an ordinary boat; it rides at higher speeds than a regular sightseeing boat, which might be physically challenging for some people. If you don’t trust yourself to handle high speeds through the ocean water, we highly encourage you to consider other tour alternatives.
If you have a same-day departure, please make sure that you choose a tour that returns at least 30min before your cruise ship’s departure. If you are not sure what tour options fit your plan, email us at booking@iceland-highlights.com, and we will gladly help you find the best option.
