If you love wildlife, don't miss this incredible whale watching cruise in Akureyri. Spend three hours searching for the majestic creatures in the waters of the Eyjafjörður.

Whale Watching in Akureyri

An unforgettable experience awaits you on your trip to Akureyri. Meet your guide at the Oddeyrarbót floating pier at the scheduled time, and prepare to encounter marine mammals.

Climb aboard your whale watching boat and set sail from Akureyri across Eyjafjörður. During your cruise, you can enjoy the views from either the inside cafeteria or the deck.

As you venture further from the coast, you'll spot whales swimming in the water. Your expert English-speaking guide will be available to answer questions about these creatures.

At the end of your three-hour cruise, you'll return to Akureyri, where you will be dropped off at the original departure point.

Wildlife watching

Keep in mind that these are wild animals and are unpredictable. Depending on ocean conditions, it is possible to not see any whales during the tour.

If you do not see any whales, the boat will take you to Hrísey Island, around 21 miles (35 km) from your departure point, where there is typically a greater abundance of whales and dolphins.
