Whales in all our tours, and lots of them!

Whales in all our tours, and lots of them!

The past weeks have been nothing short of amazing in terms of whale sightings. We’ve seen humpback whales in all our tours, minke whales and harbour porpoises. Even though the weather has been a little too cold for our taste, but is again getting warmer, we’ve had little winds and of course, the Eyjafjörður fjord has been still and perfect for sailing, which our classic Icelandic oak boats have also contributed to.

We’re seeing puffins! What’s amazing with our tours now is that we see puffins in up to 50% of our tours. They have up until now been nesting in Grimsey and more to the East but are now very prominent in our tours. In the near future, we predict that they will nest here close to Hauganes, which means that we can start our own Whale Watching Iceland + Puffin Tours. Wouldn’t that be amazing?!

Hauganes is always a short trip away Whether you are staying in Akureyri, Siglufjörður, Dalvik or even Húsavik, you are always just a short drive to Hauganes. In Hauganes you will find a first class restaurant, Baccalá Bár, where you can choose between delicious fish dishes. Also, Hauganes Camping has just opened. There you will find a have a fantastic view in all directions and access to facilities that include hot and cold water, showers, access to electricity. There is a nice playground for children nearby and a lovely beach with hot tubs.

Whale watcher’s paradise If you’re looking for the perfect place for Whale Watching, North Iceland is definitely the place to go. Sheltered from the open North Atlantic Ocean and full of small fish, Eyjafjörður is the deal feeding ground for the whales. Here you can see them spyhopping, fluking, lobtailing, logging or pectoral sleeping, whilst feeding and enjoying life. All this you can experience within just a few minutes sailing from Hauganes.
