About this activity

 Whale Watching Akureyri

North of Iceland is a great place for whale watching and this 3 hours long whale watching tour starts from the small harbor in the center of Akureyri. You have the chance to see whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. The most famous guest in this fjord is the humpback whale which is one of the most active and acrobatic of all whales. Lucky passengers can enjoy its special surfacing behaviors such as breaching, tail-slapping and lob tailing.

The fjord Eyjafjörður is very beautiful and during the tour, you can also enjoy the mountain scenery, green valleys and the unique coastal landscape. You will go on a modern, comfortable and fast boat with different whale watching platforms.

Chances to see whales on this tour are high with a 99.6% sighting success since 2013.

This whale watching tour in Akureyri is operated by one of our reliable partners. Please keep in mind that this is a wildlife excursion and as such there are no guarantees. In case no whales or dolphins are seen on the tour, complimentary return tickets will be issued to participants.
