The Grapevine's take
Whale Watching in Eyjafjörður
Our panellists were unanimous: whale watching in Eyjafjörður is among the best tours North Iceland has to offer. Boats leave from Árskógssandur, half an hour north of Akureyri, into one of the calmest fjords in the country. Nothing is guaranteed, but humpbacks, minke whales, dolphins and harbour porpoises all turn up here.
