The Whale watching company is with a family company located in Hauganes, the first whale watching company in Iceland, and still operated by the founders.

In the fjord you find many species of whales, the main being the magnificent Humpback Whale. We also find dolphins, porpoises, minke whales and occasionally we spot orcas and blue whales.
