Akureyri Classic Whale Watching

Here is your chance to see the incredible whales of Eyjafjordur in their natural habitat. Our specially trained whale watching guides are experts at spotting them and will tell you all about wildlife, nature and the Eyjafjord area.

Our specially trained, highly qualified whale watching guides will take you on a 2,5 – 3,5 hour tour to Eyjafjörður – the longest fjord in Iceland. They will provide you with information about wildlife, nature, environmental issues, history and the fjord area while taking pictures that you will be able to receive after the tour.

We operate our tours on 3 big boats – specially modified, dedicated for safe whale watching encounters in Iceland. Our biggest boat is the only high-speed, specially modified, whale watching ship in Iceland. Capable of carrying up to 200 passengers with spectacular views from our “cinema styled” viewing platforms and its speed guarantees sustainable whale watching tours, wherever the animals might be located in the fjord. With ample indoor and outdoor seating, a bar, and a cafeteria, you can be sure that the ride is comfortable and pleasant, even on challenging weather days.

Meet us at the Whale Watching Akureyri ticket office by the Oddeyrarbót pier, right next to the big round building, HOF, in downtown Akureyri. You can't miss it!
