About this activity
Traditional whale watching tour from Húsavík is a unique adventure at sea. Each tour takes approximately 3 hours; under the shelter of the Vík Mountains, sail out into the bay on a comfortable oak boat and prepare to be captivated by nature.

In Skjálfandi Bay, there is a high chance of seeing numerous types, shapes and sizes of whales. From the smallest harbour porpoise to the biggest blue whale and loads more, including the acrobatic humpback whale. Typically, June - August offer the most successful sightings; however, in recent years, the crew has noticed a distinct increase in sightings in early spring and autumn, ensuring that all visitors can enjoy the wild serenity of north Icelandic nature.

Your specialized guide will explain the safety and comfort on board as well as give you commentary on the wildlife and sights encountered. At the end of the tour, you will be served hot chocolate and an Icelandic traditional twisted donut, kleina.
