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!

5 star rating“Dolphins all around the boat!” This was our first tour during our stay in northern Iceland and it was the perfect start. We enjoyed the traditional fishing boat and the fact that Hauganes is the oldest tour company. They were very welcoming and knowledgable and had hot drinks and snacks on board.
Being our first tour, we would have been happy to see just one or two animals but we could not have anticipated the number of dolphins that surrounded our boat. It started with just a couple swimming underneath us and before we knew it there were too many to count! Jumping and flipping all over the place. We didn’t want it to end.
The beginning of what was a great trip! More

Fantastic Location!

Whale Watching Hauganes is located on the west side in the middle of Eyjafjordur bay, only 25 min drive from Akureyri and 12 minutes from Dalvik, where the ferry goes to Grimsey Island. Usually it only takes us a couple of minutes to sail to the whales because they are just in front of our little village in North Iceland.

What a week we have had here in beautiful Hauganes. There have been so many whales close to our harbor, for example blue whale, sei whale, many humpback whales, minke whales and harbor porpoises. Look forward to see what will be waiting for us tomorrow!
