100% SIGHTING SUCCESS
since 15 May 2016
Whale Watching Akureyri started operating in early 2016. From the start our emphasis has been on whale friendly whale watching and by following IceWhales' Code of Conduct we strive to safely show our passengers the whales of Iceland in their natural habitat, without disturbing them and negatively effecting the environment.
We offer whale watching tours year round among other seasonal tours, such as the Northern Lights Cruise, in winter. Our fleet has two fundamentally different vessels and thus, tours to choose from. We recommend the Classic tour for a relaxing, family friendly experience and the Express tour for a more thrilling ride.
3 Humpback whales, 2 Minke whales, and many cheeky Harbour porpoises greeted us throughout the day.
Grey Skies, Grand Encounters: our count stood at 9 Humpback whales, 2 Minke whales, one Harbour seal, and countless Porpoises — proof that even under grey skies, Eyjafjörður never fails to amaze.
A day of red skies, roaring wind, and the steady rhythm of whale song — a perfect reminder of how alive the sea truly is. 3 Humpback whales.
2 Minke whales very close, 4 Humpback whales being amazing as always, and some Harbour porpoises being the cutest.
Whale soup with uncountable Humpback whales, rainbows crossing the skies, rain and sun. Ideal start of the winter.
One humpback whale by Hjalteyri and seven humpback whales east of Hauganes. One minke whale by the green bouy and another by Hjalteryi.
