Set out on a 2-hour RIB speedboat tour from Husavik with a small group, expert guide, and all safety gear included for your comfort.

High-speed RIB boats are smaller, faster, and more maneuverable and cover more ground, boosting your chances of seeing blue whales, humpbacks, and other marine life.

Sail through Skjálfandi Bay, enjoying its calm waters and mountain views with live commentary from your guide throughout the journey.

Visit Puffin Island during nesting season (April 15-August 15) to see thousands of colorful puffins in their natural habitat.

Did you know? Husavik is known as Iceland’s 'Whale Watching Capital,' offering a 97-99% success rate of whale encounters in Europe.
