We went on the tour with our mothers (aged 70 and 76). It was a fantastic experience for us and them, even at that age. A pod of dolphins swam alongside our boat. In addition, a minke whale surfaced nearby several times, and we also spotted a humpback whale (its tail fluke was truly impressive). We were also able to watch puffins frolicking on the water from time to time. The crew was very friendly and always proactive.

Omg this was my first time whale watching and honestly, I'm still BUZZING. Went with my partner and our two teens—everyone loved it, even my grumpy 15yo. The guide (think her name was Hannah?) was suuuuper friendly and actually remembered everybody’s names, which was a cute touch. We saw three whales (one did a tail slap, nearly missed it coz I was fiddling with my camera lol). The boat felt steady even though the sea was a bit choppy. Bring gloves, it’s colder than you’d think. 100% would do it again.

Spot whales and dolphins in their natural habitat on a 3-hour, family-run, sustainable guided tour from Húsavík.

Getting started
