Activity description

Get close to the magnificent humpback whales of the Eyjafjord with stunning views of snow-capped mountains surrounding Akureyri.

Hop on a customized RIB boat and cruise through the 60 km of sheltered water that make the deep and narrow Eyjafjord. These beautiful waters are full of marine life, the most special being the world famous Eyjaford humpback whales. These whales cruise the fjord during the summer. Occasionally, you can also spot minke whales, dolphins, harbour porpoises, seals and killer whales!

This special tour is conducted in a 12 passenger RIB boat guaranteeing an intimate whale watching tour. The boats are small and fast enabling your guide to cover a vast area of the fjord without disturbing its natural habitat. Your guide will provide expert commentary and can answer questions you may have along the way. If you are a nature lover looking for a beautiful adventure, this is the activity for you!
