We Saw Whales - It was about an hour out. Nice views of the fjords. Where warm waterproof gear or they have overalls. We were almost as close as the little raft boats without the discomfort. Nice to have the indoor option with drinks. We saw some whales. Fun trip!

Whales galore! - Delightful! Lots of explanations and questions answered 😀. Hot chocolate and coffee was great just to warm up your hands. Lots of creatures and well worth the short walk from the cruise ship

Take Pictures of Whales - We booked a whale watching tour in the afternoon. It was a clear and cool day. The boat was large enough for the passengers to move around outside or sit inside. The guide talked about the types of whales which come into the fjord near Akureyri as well as their habits and behaviors. She directed us to look over the boat to the whales if she sited a tail or fin. The tour was over 2 1/2 hours and the guide spoke thru most of it educating us about whales while taking her own pictures and videos. The guide offered to send her pictures to any passenger who e-mailed her and I did receive the pictures. It was an enjoyable afternoon.
