What you can expect

  • Embark on a guided whale watching tour to Puffin Island from Húsavík. Take in the views of this island on a speedboat ride and learn about the local marine life and puffins from an experienced guide.
    After you have been equipped with a warm safety overall and a life jacket, step aboard a modern RIB speedboat to begin your exciting adventure. Head out to the beautiful surroundings of Skjálfandi Bay while your specialised guide demonstrates safety on-board and gives you live commentary on the sights encountered along the way.

    Your first visit will be Puffin Island during the nesting period (April 15 – August 15 approximately), where you can observe thousands of colourfully-beaked puffins, often called “the Clowns of the Ocean.”

    The high speeds of your boat will make it more likely you will spot some of the bigger whales, such as the majestic blue whales and acrobatic humpback whales. Watching whales in their natural environment from a RIB speedboat is a unique experience.

    Your RIB speedboat is more spacious than most others in the area thus offering higher comfort and a personal atmosphere for the maximum of 12 passengers on board. Join Iceland's original RIB whale watching tour on modern speedboats.
