Husavík: Silent Whale Watching Tour + Snack at Husavik Whale Watching

Husavík Silent Whale Watching Tour

This unique whale watching tour takes you into Iceland's premier whale watching waters aboard a modern electric vessel that operates in complete silence. From Husavík harbour, you'll glide quietly across Skjálfandi Bay where humpback whales, minke whales and other marine life gather in the nutrient-rich northern waters.

The electric boat's silent operation means whales are less likely to be disturbed by engine noise, giving you better opportunities for close encounters. Your English-speaking guide shares expert knowledge about the different whale species you might encounter and the unique marine ecosystem that makes Husavík Iceland's whale watching capital.

During the three-hour tour, you'll stay warm with complimentary hot chocolate and freshly baked cinnamon buns served onboard. The boat features multiple viewing decks ensuring excellent vantage points for spotting whales, and the tour is fully wheelchair accessible.
