Husavik ist die Whalewatching-Hauptstadt von Island. Im Hafen liegen einige ehemalige Fischerboote, die heute nur noch ausfahren, um Touristen zu den Fressplätzen der Wale zu bringen. Auch wir haben eine dieser Touren gebucht und hatten das Glück, gleich drei Buckelwale beobachten zu können. Ein tolles Erlebnis, diese großen Riesen fast hautnah beim Fressen zu erleben...

Alaska’s whale watching opportunities are the crowning jewel of many visitors’ trips to Alaska. There’s nothing quite like viewing these magnificent mammals spouting, fluking, and breaching in their natural habitat, against a stunning backdrop of Alaska mountains or coastline. In the spring, thousands of whales, including humpback whales and gray whales, travel from the warm waters of Hawaii or Mexico to spend the summer feeding in the nutrient-rich waters of Alaska. Other species like orcas make their home in Alaska waters year-round.

 

The best way to view whales in Alaska is out on the water. Whale watching cruises range from deluxe half-day or full-day tours on large, comfortable commercial boats to longer, customized trips on small charters. Tours typically begin in the spring, from March–May, and run through September or October, weather permitting.

Couple of whales found themselves within city limits of Akureyri this summer, apparantly they had been there for a few weeks, showing off and acting all pretty. Dosens of interested bystanders watched their friendly appearances, clicking their cameras away.
