Sjóferðir Kela/Keli Sea Tours

Keli SeaTours/Keliseatours.is Keli SeaTours is a small family-whale watching company in Akureyri. Three brothers named Egill-, Halldór- and Sævar Áskelssons bought in October 2015 a 40 year old and almost 30 tonn oak boat. The boat was scheduled for disassembly and to be sold for scraps. Áskell Egilsson (Keli) was our father. He along with his his colleagues built this boat back in 1975 in Akureyri. In 2015 we got it back and renovated it after its 40 years of sailing and fishing all around Iceland.

We would love to take you out on our traditional oak boat for close encounters with the gentle giants that come to our beautiful Eyjafjordur. If you are looking for the authentic whale watching experience in Iceland.

Scheduled tours for whale watching from May to end of September and a possibility of private trips and sea-angling. We have free coffee, hot chocolate and some biscuits on board for our customers. We also have warm overalls (floating suits) for everyone on board to keep everbody warm and safe and ofcourse we have a toilette on board.

Note, it is better to wear good walking shoes, and take gloves and hat with you. Estimated time for a trip of whale watching is 3 hours.
