We saw more than 10 whales! - A spectacular experience. The guides were excellent, they are very knowledgeable about the types of whales. We saw more than 10!!

to recommend - very nice outing you receive a warm and waxed suit we were able to follow two whales with many views hot chocolate on return well appreciated

Worth doing🐳🐋 - Great experience. Worth spending every single penny. We were amazed by the experience and staff approach. Even though the weather was not the best, we had great time and saw 3 different whales🐳🐋

Beautiful!! - Beautiful ride! We could see the whales very well! Experienced captain and guide. The ride ended with a cinnamon roll and chocolate milk. Blessed! Highly recommended!

Really nice family set-up and a highly recommended whale-watching trip a little away from the crowds - We had a great afternoon out on the fjord's water with the NorthSails Crew today aboard the Saeborg vessel they run. It's clearly a family run business which had a very nice vibe to it. We spent time with 6 humpback whales feeding which was a fantastic experience for first-time whale watchers. We are a family of 5 and decided the day before that a whale watching trip would make a nice change from all the hiking and sight-seeing we've done on land as we journey the N1 ring road on this 9-day trip. This is a highly recommended set-up if you've got a car and prepared to make a little drive away from the crowds at Akureyri where the vibe is much more touristy. We were just a trip of 3 small groups; I think 11 of us in total. We saw lots of other whale-watching trips with 20++ people aboard so this all felt very exclusive by comparison. Our guide, Romaine, was a delightful French marine-biologist doing research and hospitality work in Iceland. Her passion for the creatures was evident and she gave some really interesting commentary and interpretation for us about the lives and migratory patterns of the humpbacks. Highly recommended.

Whale watching in comfort - It was a great day for sailing, the sun was shining and the sea was calm. We got kitted out in overalls to keep us warm at sea. We loved that our boat wasn’t crowded (like others). Plenty of room to move around, sit and see/photograph the hump back whales in the bay. The cinnamon roll and hot chocolate on our return was a really nice touch. Kudos to North Sailing for a fabulous morning on the sea.

Whale watching excursion from Hjalteyri with North Sailing. - Fabulous. We were lucky enough to see whales for almost an hour straight. The guide was very pleasant and competent. The boat was large and there were not very many of us (around 45) compared to the other cruises that day.

Great experience! - Great experience, Laura was great! Very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about how to spot the whales and the habits.

Vers good where eatching - Slow A tte thé beginning but after 30 min. we had a dighe and then severa l’onestà with 3 times the tail in the air to dive.

Get there early (more than 30min)! Hotel Kaldi and Árskógssandur are hard to find. AWESOME TRIP otherwise! - The directions were NOT correct and we almost missed the boat, literally. The instructions say "before you go pick up your boarding card at North Sailing's ticket office in Hjalteyri 30 minutes prior to departure." And also to redeem at Hotel Kaldi in Árskógssandur (neither of which were in our car's GPS, in naviation app on phone, or on the hand held map we brought). We were in Hjalteryi 30 minutes prior and the directions on the QR code at the old pick up place do NOT lead to the harbor in Árskógssandur. Locals said "you need to go up one town" but there is a village in between and we made it last second before the boat left. Thankfully they knew we were coming and the tickets were pre-paid. The trip itself was FABULOUS! The crew was lovely, we got to see a few humpback whales and a minke whale in the distance. It was awe inspiring to be out on the Fjord and the hot coca they gave us in the cool wind hit the spot. I definitely recommend for families, friends, and couples!
