Whale Watching from Akureyri Small Group Boat Tour Hjalteyri

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This is more than a whale watching tour, it’s a personal experience built on passion, family, and a deep connection to the ocean.

Your company is family-owned and operated, created from a lifelong dream of sharing the beauty of Eyjafjörður with others. With over 15 years of experience at sea, your captain knows these waters inside out and is dedicated to giving you the best possible experience.

We focus on small groups, creating a relaxed and personal atmosphere where every guest feels welcome. This is not a crowded tour, but a chance to truly connect with nature and experience whales in their natural environment.

Every trip we run is personal to us. The boat is even named after the son, making each tour a reflection of the family, story, and the love for the ocean.

When you join us, you’re not just booking a tour, you’re becoming part of something genuine, meaningful, and unforgettable.
