Admire the whales in Iceland in the sublime natural setting of the Eyjafjörður fjord on an excursion from Akureyri!

On the way to Iceland's circular route, Akureyri is the ideal stop-off for whale watching in northern Iceland. Aboard a spacious, fast boat, you will set off on a cruise through the Eyjafjörður fjord in search of whales, as well as other cetaceans that can be seen here, such as porpoises and white-nosed dolphins. Not only are the chances of seeing cetaceans high, but you can also enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Eyjafjörður fjord, one of the longest in the country!

With commentary by enthusiastic guides, this whale-watching excursion in the Eyjafjörður fjord will teach you a lot about these impressive marine mammals, making it an interesting outing for young and old alike! You will be protected throughout the cruise in specially designed cold and wet overalls, allowing you to enjoy the outing in comfort.

So if you are on a road trip along Iceland's famous Route 1, don't hesitate to stop off at Akureyri to see the whales in the Eyjafjörður fjord!
