Overview

This is a 2,5 to 3 -hour whale watching tour 25 minutes north of Akureyri in Hauganes. A comfortable tour with the oldest whale watching tour operator in Iceland where you will be observing the fantastic scenery, bird life, and the diverse range of whale species in Eyjafjordur. In 2022 we saw humpback whales in 99% of our tours.

Meeting points

Drive trough the village of Hauganes, all the way down to the harbor. You will find us there at the far end. Hauganes is located 25 minutes from Akureyri.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Enjoy a whale watching tour from the small fishing village of the west side of Eyjafjordur. Depart at your chosen time from the meeting point in this picturesque town and you will be taken into the midst of the whale populations and rich sea life characteristics of the area. Whether the whales have ventured deep into the fjord or are staying closer to Hrisey, they are always just a short trip away from Hauganes. Most common species include humpback whales, minke whales, harbour porpoises, white beaked dolphins and with a little luck blue whales and orcas (killer whales). Your captain, a professional fisherman during the winter, will keep you in good hands during the summer whale watching season.

Five stars! â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸

We had a wonderful time and would really recommend this company. The guide was so interesting and funny and we greatly appreciated the hot coffee and homemade snacks. Within minutes of getting on the water, we saw a humpback and we stayed with it for a long time watching it dive and enjoying the beautiful fjord. This was amazing and worth the drive!

Great company with great whale watching experience and knowledge

Published on Dec, 2024

We joined Troll Expeditions who booked this trip for us. It's included their 8-day Complete Ring Road of Iceland Tour. We saw two groups of whales, total around 11-15 whales. we saw them in 2-3 meets away from us. this company is very professional. Of course, our group was blessed on that day (Dec. 9, 2024)

Truly Amazing

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour is 100% worth every penny. We almost immediately spotted a pod of 6 humpback whales. We followed them around as they dove down to feed. At one point, they swam right under our boat. The bay the tour takes place in is breathtaking. The guides were fantastic and provided hot chocolate, coffee, and homemade biscuits.

Whale Watching Hauganes a Must do

Published on Nov, 2024

These guys were great! This tour is a must if you want to see whales. They knew right where to go and were expert at finding the intended stars of the show. Had a great time!

Amazing experience

Published on Nov, 2024

It was an amazing experience. We spent some time at the hauganes black sand beach and then joined the whale watching tour. Just few minutes after our ride started we saw multiple whales. Travelling in November I wasn’t sure if whales would still be there but the whales were very kind to us. There was hot chocolate and cinnamon biscuit which were also very good for the winter and to add to everything the weather cooperated and we had very calm water.
