3 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Whale Watching Hauganes is the oldest whale watching tour operator in Iceland. We operate two classic Icelandic oak boats that are both spacious and extremely stable here in the still fjord of Eyjafjörður which is well sheltered from the open North Atlantic Ocean. We classify our tours as "slow travel" as you will get the chance of enjoying the beautiful landscape of the fjord along with its wildlife while not feeling in a rush or that you are interrupting the wildlife in any way.

Our tours are carbon neutral as we plant one tree for each tour along with blending the oil with bio-diesel made in Akureyri (the capital of North Iceland, just 25 minutes south from us) from frying oils from local restaurants.

You will find a restaurant here as well, a campsite, hot tubs down by the black beach of Sandvik and the famous beer-spa here just 5 minutes north from us.

We include sea angling in our Whale Watching & Sea Angling tours, something that all fishing enthusiasts should try!

What's Included

Included in the tours is hot coffee and chocolate along with locally made Icelandic twisted donuts and cinnamon buns.
Sea angling equipment for angling tours.
Warm overalls that are also flotation suits. Bring hats and gloves though!
