Whale Watching Adventure in Akureyri

Perfect day

We had a beautiful sunny day and were able to see multiple whale sitings. Very appreciative that the guide took amazing pictures and shared them with us at no charge!

Iceland: See & Experience it ALL in 9 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

Go with Salty Tours in Iceland

This is the second time we have utilized the services of Salty Tours. Thor, our guide, knows and loves Iceland. The two days we spent with him were well-paced and full of amazing sights and narratives. He was considerate of my needs and those of my 12-yr-old granddaughter. 5 stars!

Whale Watching from Akureyri Port

Wonderful whale watching experience!

This whale-watching experience was the family favorite during our 10-day northern lights cruise. Being on the boat in the middle of an Icelandic fjord was amazing by itself, but we had multiple whale sightings that were so much fun! The hot chocolate and cookies were such a welcome treat, too! The staff took great care of us, and we definitely recommend this wonderful experience!
