Get your warm clothes and get ready for a real adventure! The tour begins with a sail to the beautiful Skjálfandi Bay. There are many whale species that are known to be accommodated in the area. For example, the Humpback whale, the Minke whale, White-beaked dolphins, porpoises… More than 10 different species visit Skjálfandi every year! The speedy RIB boats make it more likely to have a close encounter with the giants, being able to drive huge amounts of miles in the trip. Also, with only 12 passengers or fewer on board, the competition for the best view on board is certainly eliminated. Among the places, we will visit Lundey (Puffin Island)*, known for its great amount of the popular bird. Passengers will also see the Tjörnes peninsula, known for its fossil layers with the most ancient one being two million years old! An expert whale-watching guide, a captain on board, a warm water-resistant overall suit, and a life vest are included in this trip. Bring your hat and gloves with you – the bay can be pretty cold! So, when are you joining us? *Puffin season is ca. 15th of April-20th August. Outside that time of the year, our tours are Big Whales exclusive!

5.00We were in Husavik for 5 days so we tried several of the whale watching tours. This tour operator was the best one and we ended up going 3 times. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Our son who is an avid whale and marine life fan, was given special attention and a front row seat.
Fantastic experience whenever nature cooperates (which was the case)

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip around the whole of Iceland. Obviously the fact that nature cooperated on the day and that we did see various whales contributes to how good the experience was but in general, everything was excellent: the pre-explanation, the sailing speed/observation positions, the boat and the guide. We saw thousands of puffins, many extremely close, and out of the 5 humpback & sperm whales that we saw, one of them actually breached and that was the most incredible moment, everyone was a bit emotional about it, even the guide. The said she has an average of 20 trips per year where whales breach, so we felt a bit lucky. When I came back and bought a jacket at a store nearby the tour guide office, we had a discount by showing our whale watching ticket of this operator, quite nice.
Great ride

Simply the greatest whale watching!

5.00Amazing experience! We saw at least 4 humpback whales, incredibly active. Mother and calf together, two whales hunting together... Not to mention an absolutely stunning sunset! Captain Austin and our zoologist guide, Kaj, were friendly and knowledgeable. The RIB boat ride itself is a blast as well. It does get cold out on the bay--they provide a protective suit but you'll likely want to bring gloves, hat, and scarf. And if you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to use your Dramamine. But I seriously cannot recommend this tour enough. We did this tour two years ago, and bright our teens with us this time to share the magic with them.
Midnight humpback "lunch feeding"

5.00Alexandra and Sophia were an amazing guide and captain. Despite rain and wind we navigated to Puffin island and hung out with a pair of humpback whales that were feeding along the top of the water. Absolutely an unforgettable experience to see the whales that close. Who knew whale watching at midnight would be that awesome!?!
Awesome experience and guides

5.00One word describes the experience: WOW!! We had a great captain and guide. Those two ladies really made it very special for us. Besides seeing 3 different whales (humpback, fin whale and blue whale) the way how they approached the animals was second to none! They kept a safe distance so the animals didn’t felt threatened or pressured by our presence.
Simple Amazing /Breath taking

5.00Absolutely AMAZING! Traveled on the 10th June 9am. One of the best experiences of the trip. Firstly our guide was amazing, she was so enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about whales, she was a marine biologist so very knowledgeable. We saw puffins and hump back whales including a mother and calf which is apparently pretty rare in iceland. Husavik is a good place to go for whale watching (we did the entire ring road)
Especially uncomfortable RIB boat

2.00This was my fourth whale-watching experience in Iceland, and one of the poorest. We saw a humpback early on, which was great, but it was clear we weren't expecting to see any others; we stayed, along with five other boats, for most of the hour of viewing (and the whale wasn't particularly interested in staying at the surface, so the time wasn't especially meaningful). However, I understand that nature controls such things. Much more disappointing was the quality of the RIB boat, which is far inferior to the others I've tried in Iceland; this company is sorely in need of an update. There were no suspension seats and instead there's just a fixed beam you're essentially sitting on, with no permission to stand at any point of the experience (another major downside compared to most Iceland tours). That said, it's always a delight to see any whales and Puffin Island was fantastic!
Friendly, knowledgeable, amazing crew

5.00The crew/ team were amazing. So friendly and knowledgable. It was bitterly cold but they were really upbeat and saved our trip by making my very cold 9 year old laugh. It could have gone very differently 🤣. The clobber they provided was perfect. It protected us really well. The only thing that let us down was the rubbish gloves we brought. We should have had ski gloves! Thank you, we had the best time.
