All about the trip

Join us to discover the magnificent Skjálfandi bay and Húsavík by an old traditional fishing boat. Here you will be able to admire whales, dolphins and sea birds all in their natural habitat.

Our professional and highly qualified crew will navigate you to the best spots to see the whales here. Enjoy smooth sailing aboard a traditional Icelandic oak boat as we explore the home of the whales, Húsavík (known as the 'whale capital' of Iceland).

Can you imagine a nicer day at sea? Let’s see if you can spot a whale before the crew does! When searching for whales, the crew relies on their vision, binoculars and their experience in reading nature. Having done this year-on-year, we can now boast a 98% whale sighting success rate.

By prioritizing the safety of both the passengers and the wildlife, we always ensure a responsible and sustainable approach to whale watching. As an added treat, after a day of whale watching, hot chocolate and cinnamon buns will be served on the way home. Not a bad way to warm-up after being out in the elements!
