Highlights

Whale Watching tour from Akureyri Port is an exciting and family friendly adventure from cruise ship port. We offer door to door pickup from cruise to the whale watching harbor at Hauganes Village. The transfer has free wifi and is in a comfortable bus or minibus, depending on number of passengers booked. The Whale watching company is with a family company located in Hauganes, the first whale watching company in Iceland, and still operated by the founders. Years of experience, passion and deep knowledge of the wildlife found in Eyjafjörður fjord set them apart from other companies. In the fjord you find many species of whales, the main being the magnificent Humpback Whale. We also find dolphins, porpoises, minke whales and occasionally we spot orcas and blue whales.

About Akureyri

Akureyri, at the head of a long fjord in North Iceland, is a small northern town with a hillside church, a botanical garden and big mountain views.

Akureyri lies at the head of Eyjafjörður, one of the longest fjords in Iceland, with snowy mountains rising on both sides. It is the largest town in the north and is often called the capital of North Iceland. The Akureyri Church, a stark concrete building designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, stands on a hill above the centre at the top of a broad flight of steps, and the botanical garden is one of the most northerly in the world.

Top-ranked sights in Akureyri: Godafoss, Dimmuborgir, Earth Lagoon Mývatn.
