To experience the moment of seeing whales in their natural habitat is something every person should put on their agenda. In this tour we travel from Akureyri to Húsavík, the "whale watching capital of Europe" and from there we go on a 3 hours boat trip to see these great mammals of the sea. We then visit Húsavík Whale Museum, but nowhere in Iceland can you find more information and knowledge about the whales and therefore this is the perfect place to visit after having been out at sea. On our way back to Akureyri we will be stopping at the beautiful and historic Waterfall Goðafoss.
