Description

Day Tour Whale Watching from Akureyri

This tour offers you the full whale watching and wildlife experience with professional guides that help to enrich your knowledge and understanding of the fjord‘s ecosystem, geology, history and folklore.

Humpbacks, minke whales, dolphins and porpoises are commonly spotted during these popular tours. To ensure that the animals are not disturbed by our presence, we sail at a constant speed towards the whales’ habitat. As a result, a variety of species, from humpback whales to tiny porpoises, often surface close to the boat.

Departing from Oddeyrarbót pier right in the heart of Akureyri town this 3-hour tour takes you out cruising through prime whale viewing areas.

Highlights

  • Whales and dolphins in their natural surroundings
  • Akureyri sea view
  • View of Eyjafjörður, the longest fjord of Iceland
  • View of surrounding mountains
  • 360° panorama from the top deck

Itinerary

Here is your chance to see the incredible Eyjafjord Humpbacks in their natural habitat. The warmth of the summer sun brings vibrant life and plentitude of food to the fjord and following it, in a feeding frenzy, come the larger-than-life Humpbacks.

The guides on board are specially trained whale watching and are experts at spotting them and will be able to tell you all about their behaviour, and your questions are very welcome. The vessel used for the tour is the only high speed, specially modified, whale watching ship in Iceland. Capable of carrying 200 persons with spectacular views from the “cinema styled” viewing platforms. Its speed guarantees availability of whale watching tours from Akureyri, wherever the whales might be located in the deepest fjord in Iceland. With ample indoor and outdoor seating, bar and cafeteria, you can be sure that the ride is comfortable and pleasant even at speed.
