What to expect?
-
Enjoy a comfortable tour while observing the fantastic scenery, bird life, and of course the diverse range of whale species of Eyjafjordur. Commonly, we see Humpback Whales, Minke Whales, Harbour Porpoise, and White Beaked Dolphins. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a Killer Whale or a Blue Whale! Enjoy a little sea angling on the return trip, and have your catch filleted to take with you.
-
Each one of our captains spend their winters as professional fishermen, so you can be assured you’re in good hands during the summer season of whale watching. In 2018 we had a 99.5% success rate of spotting whales and expect no less this year (even though we cannot guarantee the same success rate).
