Description

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.

5 Star Experience

Small group (around 10 people on my day), easy pick up in front of where the cruise ship was docked. Requires a short road journey (provided by the tour) from Akureyri to Hjalteyri before getting on a boat. This was actually in our favour on our day, the whales were right out of Hjalteyri. The boat (called Brimir) is of a good size, has a clean WC and a coffee machine. Knowledgeable and informative guide Jitka, who speaks good English and happy to answer any questions. After the tour Jitka will also upload the pictures she took of the whale(s), and upload it onto a Google drive for free access.
