Top Akureyri Whale Watching

Everyone involved in this whale watching tour was extremely professional and helpful. My family and I were driving from Hofn (5 hours) to get on the 1:15 p.m. boat. We had car trouble and I kept in touch with a very nice woman from the tour. I told her our problem and she said they will try to wait for us as long as they could. As I go closer, I told here we were there and she told me to go straight to the ticket office, they were waiting for us. The tour itself was terrific. We saw 3 whales, 2 stayed together and the third was by himself. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the whales and even told us the names of the 3 whales that we saw. If you ever get to Iceland, I suggest that you take this whale watching tour, you won't regret it. If my family and I ever get back to Iceland, we will definitely take this tour again.

We were reluctant to book a whale tour in Iceland after our experience in south Africa (lots of sea sickness). However, we're so glad we changed our mind at the last minute. The journey was very smooth, did not feel any sea sickness (bare in mind I am 5months pregnant). Saw so many hampback whales !! Highly recommended.

The experience was incredible, we saw dozens of whales, they had a good location, the captain was excellent, he navigated very well with 6-foot waves, I say this because I have experience in sailing, and with minus 0 degrees Celsius (20 and something Fahrenheit) we didn't even got cold thanks to the suits they provided

It was a very exciting whale watching experience. We saw many whales and took a lot of photos. The only concern is that the port for whale watching is a 25 min drive from Akureyri cruise terminal, so you need to arrange transportation in advance. If the company could provide transportation to the port, that would be a perfect trip.

Great experience all around, as the crew were helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Boat was clean and spacious with lots of amenities. Can't predict the whales, as we saw only one young humpback whale but it wasn't for lack of trying by the crew. Would definitely do again.

Fantastic experience. The crew were absolutely amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and environmentally conscious. They know exactly which spots are whale watching hotspots and they ensure the nails, birds, mammals are viewed from a safe distance so they're not distressed. We saw a humpback doing backflips and side flips for almost 45 minutes.

We saw many whales, some far, some more close, one Humpback really close to the boat. Alisa, the guide, explained the type of whales while they were appearing, also explained some behaviors that help with the type identification, and the frequency of breathing. She was also really nice the kids.
