Overview

This three-hour whale watching tour departs from downtown Akureyri on a specially adapted sightseeing boat designed for viewing humpback whales in Eyjafjörður, Iceland's longest fjord. The tour runs year-round and is suitable for families. It features multiple viewing platforms and large windows to provide good visibility throughout the trip. Guests can borrow warm overalls, raincoats, or blankets to stay comfortable during the outing. A professional guide is onboard to provide information, and complimentary WiFi is available. The operator follows strict environmental guidelines to reduce the impact on wildlife and adheres to a responsible whale watching code of conduct. The tour focuses on observing whales in a way that prioritizes their wellbeing, so close encounters cannot be guaranteed. Food and drinks are available for purchase on board, but hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Weather conditions in Iceland can affect the tour schedule, and it may be cancelled with short notice if sea conditions are unsafe. If no whales are seen, the company offers a free repeat tour in Akureyri or Reykjavík. The boat fleet is not fully wheelchair accessible due to stairs and high thresholds, but wheelchair users with foldable chairs may be able to board larger boats with prior arrangement and assistance if needed.
