A 2-hour whale watching tour on a speedy RIB boat from the town of Húsavík, The Whale Capital of Iceland.!
The RIB boats seat a maximum of 12 passengers per boat, each with an expert whale watching guide and captain on board. Each passenger gets a warm overall, a life jacket and raincoat (if needed).
The focus is on small group tours, eliminating competition for the best view on board.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The tour begins by meeting at the Húsavík Adventures's ticket office 30 minutes before departure. Please note that we share the office building with our parent company North Sailing. You can easily find the office on the opposite side of the road from the famous church of Húsavík
What to expect
The tour begins with a sail to the beautiful Skjálfandi Bay. There are many whale species that are known to be accommodated in the area. For example, the Humpback whale, the Minke whale, White-beaked dolphins, porpoises… More than 10 different species visit Skjálfandi every year!
The speedy RIB boats make it more likely to have a close encounter with the giants, being able to drive huge amounts of miles in the trip. Also, with only 12 passengers or fewer on board, the competition for the best view on board is certainly eliminated.
Among the places, we will visit Lundey (Puffin Island)*, known for its great amount of the popular bird. Passengers will also see the Tjörnes peninsula, known for its fossil layers with the most ancient one being two million years old!
An expert whale-watching guide, a captain on board, a warm water-resistant overall suit, and a life vest are included in this trip. Bring your hat and gloves with you – the bay can be pretty cold!
So, when are you joining us?
*Puffin season is ca. 15th of April-20th August. Outside that time of the year, our tours are Big Whales exclusive!
