Humpback whales and white-beaked dolphins are the most common and beautiful species of whale to be found in Skjálfandi Bay, Iceland's most famous whale watching area.

Wearing a special overall to keep you warm during the trip, you will spend around 3 hours at sea, accompanied by a captain guide who will be delighted to share their knowledge of Skjálfandi Bay and the animals that live there, as well as the Tjörnes peninsula and its mountains, which you can admire throughout the trip. You are sure to have an unforgettable outing, with a high chance of meeting Húsavík's famous whales!
