Stunning Húsavík

Published on Sep, 2024

What a fantastic time spent in Húsavík. Stunning scenery, stunning wildlife, stunning weather, stunning personnel. A great adventure and I will be back to see the puffins next year.

Must do

We had an excellent experience with many whales. Big compliment for guide Laura and her explanations. Nice ship with good access to both sides.

Unique experience!

Excellent, informative narrative accompanying the whale watching tour. Kudos to the commentator who blended scientific information with a strong conservationalist message in a highly effective manner. The breaching whale was unexpected, as was the quality of the commentary. Well done!

Beautiful Húsavik

Published on Aug, 2023

We booked this tour a couple of days in advance as we saw the weather was good. We had a lovely afternoon on the water, we saw dolphins, flying puffins and at least 5 humpback whales. We saw the whales from quite a distance, the company was very respectful and did not try to get too close or hound the whales unlike the rib boats. Very good informative guide and nice warm hot chocolate on the way back. Our teens throughly enjoyed it as did the adults. Do the whale museam after, they give you a 20% discount voucher.

30 minutes with Shy Minke

Published on Apr, 2023

The traditional boats are quite an experience and our captain and guide were quite engaging. Christian and Christian took us around the bay and what looked like a quiet outing, changed when a Minke decided to say hello. The boat floated around it for 30 minutes and we got a few more glimpses. All through the cruise, Christian kept us informed of the bay, the mountains, the sea and above all, the Whales. He even showed us a baleen and served hot Chocolate and Cinnamon rolls as refreshments. It was an education for the entire family. While the cruise offers an overall warm suit, it still does not protect from the arctic chill, therefore plenty of layers and gloves are recommended. Most Husavik excursions offer discounts at other businesses and North Sailing is no exception (which is handy and welcome)
