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 ratingBetter than in Husavik The tour was really good. We saw 3 different types of whales. We were also able to spot a group of 3 humpbacks. A few days before we did a whale watching tour in Husavik, but we just saw one humpback.

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.

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.
