Location

Whale Watching Hauganes is located in a small fishing village called Hauganes on the west coast of Eyjafjörður bay in northeast Iceland, just 30 min drive north of Akureyri on road 82.

Please arrive at least 30 minutes before departure.
We offer warm extra clothing, but we still recommend that passengers bring their own warm and waterproof clothes.

Enjoy the beauty of our whales and what Eyjafjörður fjord has to offer (without the Sea Angling).

Whale watching is our life and joy. We live by the Eyjafjörður bay and are privileged to have all these wonderful creatures swimming in the ocean within reach. We cannot wait for you to meet them. The tours include Whale Watching with whales spotted in all our tours last year.

As we set sail to reach the whales, our guides – who are locals and highly experienced, will make an effort to make you feel as comfortable as possible. You’ll receive warm overalls and there are blankets on board. To ensure that the animals are not disturbed by our presence, we sail at a constant speed towards the whales’ habitat. As a result, a variety of species, from humpback whales to tiny porpoises, often surface within a few feet of the boat. When we reach the whales we’ll make sure not to disturb them with loud noises or sharp movements. Respect for the whales is a key to our tour.

The 100% Whale Watching tour is exactly the same tour as our classic Whale Watching & Sea Angling tour but without the sea angling part at the end of the tour. This way you can enjoy our beautiful whales and fantastic Eyjafjörður fjord even more!
