Whale watching in Iceland on a completely silent, environmentally-friendly boat
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.
The tour lasts approximately three hours departing from Husavík harbour. Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure time. Dress warmly in layers and bring waterproof clothing as weather conditions can change quickly at sea. The boat operates year-round and the tour is conducted entirely in English.
This eco-friendly whale watching experience is suitable for all ages and mobility levels thanks to wheelchair accessibility. Bring your camera for whale photography opportunities. The silent electric motor creates a peaceful atmosphere that benefits both wildlife and passengers.
If you're exploring more of Iceland's natural wonders, consider combining your visit with Northern Lights tours from Reykjavik or discover other incredible Icelandic experiences through Golden Circle day trips to see geysers, waterfalls and national parks.
