Description

Go whale watching from Husavik, the whale-watching capital of Iceland, on a traditional Icelandic oak boat. This fully guided tour explores Skjalfandi Bay in North Iceland.

The tour starts at the harbor in Husavik, on the shores of Skjalfandi Bay, which is known for its rich wildlife. You board a traditional oak boat that has been thoroughly renovated as a passenger vessel and is part of Iceland's maritime history.

You explore Skjalfandi Bay with a specialized wildlife guide, who explains safety on board and gives live commentary on everything you see. Many kinds of whales visit the bay, including acrobatic humpback whales and playful white-beaked dolphins.

Nature is unpredictable, so every trip is different, but your chances of seeing whales in their natural environment are high.

Some departures sail on the oak boat Sylvia, which has a modern, energy-efficient engine designed to reduce environmental impact and make the trip quieter.

After the tour, you can show your boarding pass for discounts at local businesses in Husavik.
