Description

Set off from the charming town of Húsavík in Iceland for an exhilarating whale watching adventure by RIB speedboat. This guided tour takes you across the scenic Skjálfandi Bay, where you'll search for some of the ocean's most magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

After gearing up in a warm safety overall and life jacket, you'll board a comfortable, modern speedboat designed for small groups of up to 12 people. Your experienced guide will share fascinating insights about the local marine life and ensure your journey is both safe and memorable.

During puffin season, from mid-April to mid-August, the tour visits Puffin Island, where thousands of vibrant puffins nest. Watch these playful birds up close and learn why they're affectionately called the "Clowns of the Ocean."

The speed and agility of the RIB boat increase your chances of encountering large whales, including blue and humpback whales. The small group setting creates an intimate atmosphere, allowing for unobstructed views and personalized commentary from your guide.

Tours last about two hours and depart from Húsavík harbor. Warm safety gear and rain jackets are provided, so you can focus on the thrill of the experience. Spaces fill quickly, so check availability and reserve your spot today for an unforgettable Icelandic wildlife encounter!
