Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland, is one of the top spots on the island to observe whales. Situated at the mouth of the tranquil Eyjafjörður fjord, Akureyri provides an ideal habitat for marine mammals seeking food. The fjord’s calm waters also ensure a smooth and enjoyable sailing experience. Akureyri and its surroundings offer a perfect harmony where both humans and whales can enjoy this charming location.
