Description
Eyjafjörður creates a magnificent natural stage for whale watching. The crew follows the most promising wildlife areas while the guide interprets every blow, fin and movement across the surface.
A classic whale watching boat combines excellent outdoor viewing with sheltered comfort, letting you move between the fresh sea air and a warmer space while high northern mountains, quiet settlements and the long blue sweep of the fjord unfolds around the boat.
Starting midway along the fjord keeps the journey close to rich wildlife areas and gives the trip a peaceful village-harbour atmosphere, with every departure shaped by the animals, weather and light of the day.
