It was a great whale watching tour! We saw 6 or 7

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
