Akureyri Classic Whale Watching

Prepare yourself for an extraordinary journey as we depart from the picturesque town of Akureyri, nestled beneath the towering presence of the Súlur mountain, and set course into the awe-inspiring Eyjafjord. This fjord, Iceland’s longest, is a marvel of natural beauty, framed by snow-capped peaks and dotted with charming coastal villages. As our high-speed vessel slices through the shimmering waters, you’ll pass the tranquil island of Hrísey to the north, while seabirds soar overhead and the crisp Icelandic air fills your lungs. The surrounding landscapes offer a constantly changing canvas of dramatic cliffs, lush valleys, and untouched wilderness, making every moment on deck a visual feast.

But the true highlight of this adventure lies beneath the waves. Eyjafjord is home to the famous humpback whales—graceful giants renowned for their acrobatic breaches and thunderous tail slaps. These majestic creatures share the fjord with an array of marine life, including the elusive minke whale, playful white-beaked dolphins, and shy harbour porpoises. Aboard our specially designed whale watching ship, fitted with cinema-style viewing platforms, you'll have unobstructed views of the action. Expert marine biologists will guide you through each encounter, offering fascinating insights into the behavior and biology of these incredible animals. This is more than just a tour—it’s an immersive experience into the wild heart of Iceland’s marine ecosystem, promising memories that will last a lifetime.
