Review of Húsavík’s traditional oak-boat whale tour, with practical advice on sightings, comfort, guides, price, weather, and booking.
“We have ventured into the sea with Gentle Giants on boat Faldur on 04.08.24 at 1535. Our guide (sorry I cannot remember his name) was very nice and had wonderful sense of humor. Whole trip was very educative (shame on ppl, who still thing whales and dolphins are fish!). The captain did all he could to provide us with wonderful sightings of whales and dolphins and we have seen quite a few. 3h, for someone not used to the sea, is a long time, so we were happy to go back to shore, when the trip ended. So I think 3h is a perfect length for such trip. Thank you…”
Ride a small RIB from Húsavík to spot whales, dolphins, puffins, and Tjörnes Peninsula in Iceland’s cold, open bay.
“It was certainly a great experience. We saw three humpback whales during our tour and the guide was both knowledgeable and experienced. Wet suits were provided, however, a high quality pair of gloves is a must to carry since your hands tend to freeze in the cold weather.”

“Husavik Whale Watching Cruise was an amazing experience. On board the Dagfari we were wonderfully guided by Jess and Chris. Due to Chris' years of experience as a Whale watcher and Jess' background as a marine biologist, a Whale was spotted during the trip that approached the Dagfari very closely. This was a magical experience.”
Everything the island sells by the day, and the pick of each kind.
