Observação de baleias do coração de Akureyri

Great opportunity to see humpback whales in their natural habitat - obviously weather (and whale) dependent!

We totally enjoyed the experience. Although there was a bit of rain, we were prepared, and there were whales!

Amazing! Guide was great. We saw 3-4 whales. Ship staff and crew were also great.

We were very lucky to see a blue whale which stayed around the boat for about 45 minutes plus, later on, a minke whale. Our guides commentary was so very informative and enthusiastic and the tannoy system was extremely clear throughout the boat. Would recommend this trip 100%.

It was a very special experience. Everything was well organised, and the guide was knowlegeable and enthusiastic. We found a group of three humpback whales feeding. They kept going down into the deep to feed and then coming back up for a while. The ship followed them around for some. It was difficult to know where exactly they would come back up. By following them a few times they managed to once get very close. There was lots of oooh-ing and aaaah-ing of the crowed when they showed their arched backs (a bit like dolphins, just not fully airbound) right next to the ship, and later their tailfins when they dived back down, one after the other. The tour was a bit over 3 hours long, I think even 3 1/2 hours. After the tour, we all got a link to photographs taken by the crew. So if you prefer just to watch without looking through the phone/camera all the time, you can do so. Or if you just didn't catch them in the right moment, you'll get some beautiful pictures anyway.

Nice ride on the boat….good talk about the area and wildlife. Did see the tails of a whale. I know one never knows when they will appear.

Beautiful scenery, nice boat ride, saw whales!

Seeing humpbacks in their natural environment was the highlight of my birthday. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely excited to help everyone spot wildlife. The jokes and puns were funny. The hot chocolate afterward was exactly what we needed after being out on the cold water. An unforgettable experience."

A nice excursion to see whales. The crew of the boat is welcoming, Customer Service. We could see whales up close. That's great! A nice exit.

The captain of the boat did an awesome job turning the boat so we all could see each of the whales. We saw several whales and it was a wonderful tour.
