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 are proud to announce that our collaboration with our neighbour Ektafiskur /  Baccalá bar has been selected as a HERO experience by the North Iceland Marketing Agency.

We look forward to seeing you!

5 star ratingAmazing! An amazing few hours where we spent ages hanging out with a humpback whale - he was so close - and also with a massive pod of dolphins who seemed to love playing with the boat. We had been planning to go from Husavik but poor weather changed our plans - because you are further into a fjord here it is often calmer apparently. The crew were friendly and informative and the boat was good. It was not as manoeuvrable as a rib but there was plenty of space to move around the boat depending on where the whale was - there was probably about 25 of us.

They also provide warm waterproof clothing.

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 was beautiful, nice temperature, calm sea and pink sky that made the view stunning. We had 6 humpback whales in the area around Hauganes. We had a good time with the whales and we got to see one of our friends, Sóley they humpback whale.
