Boat Trip in the Eyjafjörður Bay with Whale Watching & Sea Angling

About the Activity

What to Expect

Live a truly authentic experience with our boat trip in the Eyjafjörður Bay with whale watching and sea angling! Departing from the historic Hauganes port, our journey begins as we glide through the tranquil waters of the stunning Eyjafjörður Bay, a sanctuary for marine wildlife. This bay is home to majestic humpback whales, playful dolphins, and occasionally, the sleek minke whales. Onboard our classic Icelandic oak boats, you will find yourself in a spacious, comfortable, and extremely stable environment, ensuring a smooth ride. Our local guides will provide warm overalls and blankets, allowing you to relax and enjoy the breathtaking views with a cup of coffee in hand.

As we cruise at a gentle speed, the respectful approach towards these incredible creatures often results in them swimming remarkably close to the boat, offering an unforgettable sight. The boats, accommodating between 48 and 78 passengers, are well-maintained with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the spectacle. Each moment on this serene adventure brings you closer to nature, with expert guides sharing insights about the marine life and the bay's history.

Towards the end of the trip, prepare for another unique experience: sea angling. In the rich waters of the bay, you can try your hand at catching some of Iceland's abundant fish species. With all necessary equipment provided, and under the guidance of our experienced crew, you might reel in cod, haddock, or even a giant halibut. This activity is perfect for nature lovers, combining the thrill of getting up close to whales and angling, with the serene beauty of Icelandic waters.
