Husavík: Whale & Puffin Watching Tour in a RIB Speedboat Tickets at Husavik Whale Watching

Husavík Whale & Puffin Watching Tour in a RIB Speedboat

This two-hour speedboat adventure takes you across Skjálfandi Bay, one of Iceland's top whale watching destinations. Your English-speaking guide will help spot up to 24 whale species that visit these waters, including humpback whales, minke whales, blue whales, harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins. The RIB speedboat gets you to wildlife areas quickly, leaving more time for watching and photographing marine life in their natural habitat.

From mid-April to mid-August, the tour includes a visit to Puffin Island for seabird watching. Around 70% of Arctic puffins nest in Iceland, so you'll have excellent chances to see these colourful birds up close as they glide across the ocean and nest on rocky cliffs. The small group setting ensures panoramic views and close wildlife encounters throughout your trip.
