This was a really good value trip. We travelled the length of the fiord searching for whales, none were showing but saw some dolphin...the skipper extended time and eventually found us a whale. The scenery was jawdroppingly beautiful. So relaxing to be on the water.

The whale watching on 30th October 2019 was disappointing as there is only one whale which you see again and again diving in and out of water. Not fun at all. They dint tell people about it and we went with more expectation.

Dear mipa24, Thank you for sharing your experience with future travellers. Sorry to hear your expectations were not met and that you were disappointed with the sightings. Since this is a wildlife tour, we never know what to expect; where we will find whales (if any) and for how long we will see them. That is the unpredictable factor of the tour. Hope you still enjoyed seeing the amazing wildlife of the fjord. All the best, The Akureyri Whale Watching team
