Activities in the area 1) Whale-watching Eyjafjordur bay is one of the best locations to experience the whales in their natural habitat. The beautiful Eyjafjörður bay which has in recent years been the habitat of humpback whales, mink whales, dolphins and more species. As we set sail to reach the whales, our guides – who are locals and highly experienced, will make an effort to make you feel as comfortable as possible. You’ll receive warm overalls and there are blankets on board. To ensure that the animals are not disturbed by our presence, we sail at a constant speed towards the whales’ habitat. As a result, a variety of species, from humpback whales to tiny porpoises, often surface within a few feet of the boat. When we reach the whales we’ll make sure not to disturb them with loud noises or sharp movements. 2) Beer Spa Take a dip in warm beer and beer yeast, which supposedly is good for your skin and hair. Even enjoy a cold beer while you bathe in the warm beer. Spend the night in Akureyri.
