Description

Experience the thrill of whale watching on this exhilarating speedboat tour from Húsavík, Iceland, as you explore the wildlife-rich waters of Skjálfandi Bay. Set sail aboard a fast RIB boat, maximizing your chances of close encounters with majestic humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and more than ten other marine species that frequent the bay each year.

With intimate groups of 12 or fewer passengers, every guest enjoys unobstructed views and a personal adventure. The high-speed boat allows you to cover more ground, increasing your likelihood of spotting whales up close in their natural habitat. Your journey is led by an expert whale-watching guide and a skilled captain, ensuring a safe and informative experience.

During the tour, you'll also visit the scenic Lundey, known as Puffin Island, where countless puffins gather during the season from mid-April to late August. Outside puffin season, the focus shifts to Iceland's giant whales, offering a thrilling alternative for wildlife lovers. The itinerary also includes views of the Tjörnes peninsula, famed for its fossil-rich cliffs dating back two million years.

All necessary gear is provided, including a warm water-resistant overall suit and a life vest for your comfort and safety. Remember to bring your own hat and gloves, as the bay can be chilly even in summer. The meeting point is conveniently located in Húsavík harbor, and the tour duration ensures plenty of time to marvel at the extraordinary marine life and dramatic coastal scenery.

Spaces on this unforgettable adventure fill up quickly, especially during the puffin season. Don’t miss your chance to witness Iceland’s spectacular marine life up close—check availability and book your spot today!
