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.

5 star ratingWonderful! Wonderful tour! We saw tons of whales! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. After the tour we had lunch at the cafe. Save your whale boarding receipt for a 10 percent discount! After dinner, we soaked in the hot tubs by the ocean. It is a 2 minute walk down a path.

5 star rating10/10 would recommend! This was our first time whale watching and it was fantastic! I was a little worried we would be out for awhile before catching a glimpse of the whales. However, they snuck up behind us. Captains were super cool and super knowledgeable about the patterns of the whales. We were able to capture several photos and videos so we will always remember our first experience.

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.

The weather is good at last! Humpback whales are swimming close to our harbor and we get to look at them all around our boats. A Fin whale stopes by to say hello. Wonderful day in Eyjafjörður with all the whales.
