Embark on a whale and puffin watching tour from Hauganes, a picturesque harbor village just 30 minutes from Akureyri. Board a modern vessel designed for optimal comfort and stability, and set sail across the calm, sheltered waters of Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord.

As you cruise, take in dramatic mountain vistas and abundant seabirds, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. Eyjafjörður is renowned for its nutrient-rich feeding grounds, making it one of Iceland’s most dependable whale watching locations.

Keep an eye out for humpback whales breaching, tail-slapping, or diving gracefully beneath the surface. You may also spot minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbor porpoises, and occasionally other visiting species.

Listen to insightful commentary from experienced local captains and knowledgeable guides on the behavior, ecology, and conservation of these remarkable marine mammals.
