About

A 2 Hour whale & bird watching tour starting from the floating pier at Hof Cultural Centre in Akureyri. Experience and get close to the incredible humpback whales of the Eyjafjord (the longest fjord in Iceland), starting from the capital of North, Akureyri. If you have a passion for nature and love for adventure, then this is the tour for you! 

Trip Difficulty: Moderate 
Boat capacity: 12 passengers per boat (plus captain and guide)
Duration: 2 hours. approximately

With only 12 passengers per boat we can guarantee an adventure of a lifetime on an intimate whale watching tour. Our specially made RIB boats allow you to get closer to the whales and wildlife than any other boat can offer. The RIBs are fast and small boats that will also get you quicker to the whales and cover a bigger area as we search for the wildlife, which means a bigger chance of spotting whales, dolphins and bird life with out disturbing them in their natural habitat.

NOTE: This tour is not suitable for pregnant women and those with a history of back injuries. Please consult your doctor prior to booking this tour. Passengers need to be 145 cm or taller to participate in this tour.
