Thank you so much for the responses. I did find this on a website (guidetoiceland.is): "The difference between whale watching in Akureyri and Husavik is slight but exists. Skjalfandi [Husavik] has a higher number of cetaceans than Eyjafjordur [Akureyri]. Having a higher number of animals means more chances of sightings and watching exciting behaviors such as breaching, fluking, tail-slapping, and spy-hopping.....Meanwhile, Akureyri is simply a more convenient place to go whale spotting. " Too slight a difference to be concerned with?

Husavik is considered the whale-watching capital of Iceland. Is it worth renting a car at Akureyi (the closest port) and driving to Husavik for a whale tour or should we expect the experience to be just as good embarking from a port city? Thanks so much for any advice!
