What to Expect

If whale watching was on your bucket list, you cannot miss our boat trip in the Eyjafjörður bay, where you can also enjoy coffee and homemade pastries included! Departing from the Hauganes port, our journey will take you through the picturesque waters of the Eyjafjörður bay, renowned for its abundant marine life.

Our experienced local guides will ensure your comfort, providing warm overalls and blankets on board. As we glide gently through the water, you can savour complimentary coffee and homemade pastries in the cosy atmosphere of our classic Icelandic oak boats, which are spacious, comfortable, and extremely stable.

As we move deeper into whale territory, our respectful approach allows these magnificent creatures to come remarkably close. You will be amazed as humpback whales breach and play, offering a breathtaking display of nature’s wonders. The sight of playful dolphins and porpoises darting through the water is sure to delight. Our local guides, with their wealth of knowledge, will share fascinating insights into the behaviours and habits of these incredible animals, enhancing your understanding and appreciation of the marine environment.
