Description

Set out from the charming harbor of Húsavík, Iceland, for an unforgettable whale watching adventure led by a welcoming family-run team. Glide across Skjálfandi Bay, where your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights about the whales and the surrounding marine environment.

As you journey west toward the dramatic Kinnarfjöll mountain range, keep your eyes peeled for humpback and minke whales, as well as occasional sightings of blue, fin, and killer whales. The bay is also home to playful white-beaked dolphins, making every moment on board exciting.

Between May and mid-August, you may spot Atlantic Puffins and a variety of seabirds soaring above the waves. Seals are often seen lounging along the coastline, adding to the rich wildlife encounters throughout your trip.

The tour lasts approximately three hours and is conducted in English, accommodating small groups of up to 15 people for an intimate experience. Safety is a priority, with floatation suits provided on the oak boat Moby Dick and lifejackets available for children.
