Experience the mammals of the ocean
Experience the traditional tour from Húsavík. Our birthplace is often considered as the Whale Watching Capital of Europe. It is a unique adventure at sea – watching the wonders of nature in the beautiful surroundings of Skjálfandi Bay, sheltered by the stunning mountains of Vík. This is where our roots lie, where our ancestors used to live in peace and joy for centuries, living in total harmony with the unpredictable and untamed nature of the North Atlantic.

We did that tour on a cloudy Saturday, but anyway, we saw some whales and enjoyed a hot chocolate afterwards. The crew was very experienced and friendly. If you like to go for a whale watching tour, we can recommend this one.

The boat was a good size in that it was big enough for a comfortable ride but small enough that it wasn’t crowded…
