Dear friends and fellow whale lovers!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have decided to cease our activities until April 15th the earliest. All tours before that date have therefore been suspended.
Soon the summer will be upon us and our lovely Eyjafjörður will gradually fill with life; squawking birds, lively fish and of course beautiful whales such as Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoises, Dolphins and even Blue Whales and Orca Whales (Killer Whales).
Even though we are currently all going through a global crisis we will stand strong, and before long we will all commence venturing the world again – enjoying every aspect of what our breathtaking nature and environment has to offer. When the skies eventually clear the whales will be waiting for you here close to Hauganes, breaching, pectoral slapping, spy hopping and tail slapping. It will be worth the wait!
See you soon and take care.
All the best from the Whale Watching Hauganes team.

Whale Watching in North Iceland
– Daily departures from the heart of Eyjafjordur bay, only 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 in 2019!

Excellent Well run tour. I like the oak boats. Tour guide spoke over loudspeaker in English as we went telling us about the whales and when and where they were spotted. The weather was not great and they were very honest... read more
