Iceland Whale watching Tours
– Whale watching in Iceland. Whale Watching Hauganes offers daily scheduled whale watching tours from Eyjafjordur, 25 min drive north of Akureyri in North Iceland.
– Best location to experience the whales in their natural habitat.
Whale Watching Hauganes is extremely proud of being the oldest whale watching Iceland company. We have toured with travelers on whale watching since 1993. Northern Iceland is globally recognized as the best location to experience whales in the world. See the Humpback whales, white beaked dolphins and minke whales.
Our two classic oak boats have been renovated for your comfort, have enjoyed good maintenance, are spacious, comfortable and extremely stable. As there are no generators on board, the engines can be turned off when approaching the whales making the approach as gentle and non-intrusive as possible.
We look forward to seeing you!

Lovely experience, friendly staff! We took the 100% whale watching tour and indeed we got to see whales just very shortly after getting on the boat! The staff were really friendly and the location is stunning, too.
You just need to remember that getting on a boat might not be ideal if you‘re seasick very easily - but I bet the wooden boats used by this company are already a lot better than the small boats others use, for that matter.
Overall: highly recommended!
Incredible! Incredible experience! Parking was right in front of the boat. They provided the warmest full body jumpsuit that doubled as a floatation device. If you care deeply about what size you get, then be early (15-20 min) as the smalls were taken quickly. Bring snacks and water! They do provide hot cocoa and a snack but it’s at one time in the middle of the tour. Can you tell I’m a mom yet We had MANY whale sightings, even right next to the boat. The captain was wonderful and even spent some time telling my youngest (10 yo) about Iceland and some childhood experiences there.
Party time
How wonderful it is to sail 5-10 minutes from our harbor and find all this life! We got to see around 15 humpback whales feeding close to Hauganes. Some were swimming alone but others were 2-4 of them together. Beautiful day in Eyjafjörður and looking forward to say hi to our friends tomorrow.
