Set off from Húsavík, Iceland, on an exhilarating speedboat adventure across Skjálfandi Bay, renowned for its rich marine life. This tour offers the chance to spot majestic whales, including humpbacks and minke whales, as well as playful dolphins and porpoises in their natural habitat.

With a maximum of 12 passengers per RIB boat, you’ll enjoy an intimate and unobstructed view of the wildlife. The speed and agility of the boat make it possible to cover more ground, increasing your chances of close encounters with these incredible creatures.

During puffin season, from mid-April to late August, the tour also visits Lundey, or Puffin Island, where you can marvel at colonies of these iconic birds. The journey continues past the ancient Tjörnes peninsula, famous for its fascinating fossil layers dating back two million years.

Your experience is guided by an expert whale-watching guide and a skilled captain. Warm, water-resistant overalls, raincoats if needed, and life vests are provided to keep you comfortable and safe on the chilly bay. Remember to bring your own gloves and hat for extra warmth.
