Excursion Whale watching tour at Akureyri

Sometimes guests can also expect to see the Humpback whale, which is easily identified by their enormous black and white pectoral fins (flippers), lumps of tubercles on the snout and lower lips, and their big bushy blow. The Humpback whale is certainly one of nature's most impressive creatures. A common sight on whale watching tours in Eyjafjörður the Humpbacks are known for their energetic awe-inspiring acrobatics - breaching, fluking, tail and fin slapping, bubble blowing and spy hopping.

A large number of seabirds including puffins and other marine mammals are also regularly spotted out in the bay - such as the fun loving harbour porpoises and white beaked dolphins who often come up close to the boats in order to playfully surf alongside the boats.
