It was a great whale watching tour! We saw 6 or 7
whales and got within 10 metres of one. Just off the
bow there you could almost pet it we were so close.”
- Shawn, US
I took the Akureyri Whale Watching Tour with my family
and we had a great trip. We saw breeching Humpback
whales and Minke whales. It was marvelous to see the
Humpback whales breeching just in front of the boat.
A wonderful trip!” - Sven, Germany
