Experience Whale and Puffin Watching Like Never Before

Step aboard one of Iceland's fastest RIB speedboats for an unforgettable journey across the pristine waters of Sjálfandi Bay. This boat tour is specially designed for those eager to see whales, dolphins and iconic puffins in their natural habitat, all while enjoying the thrill of a swift and comfortable ride out from Húsavík.

The Adventure Begins in Húsavík

Your journey starts in the charming town of Húsavík, renowned for its whale watching opportunities. Here, you’ll meet your expert guide, who will provide you with a safety briefing, warm overalls and safety jackets to ensure you’re prepared for every type of weather on the bay. A raincoat will also be provided if needed to keep you comfortable throughout your expedition.

High-Speed Exploration on RIB Boats

Setting out from the harbor, you’ll speed away faster than the larger traditional boats. The RIB's agile design allows you to cover more area in less time, meaning more chances to encounter the mighty whales and elusive dolphins. These speedboats are crafted to glide across the waves quietly, creating minimal disturbance to the marine environment and bringing you closer to wildlife.

Witness Majestic Whales and Playful Dolphins

Your expert guide will navigate toward known hot spots, increasing your chances of seeing some of the largest animals on earth. The success rate for spotting whales in this region is high, with regular sightings of humpbacks, minke whales and occasionally even blue whales. Dolphins are often seen playing around the boats, adding more excitement to your journey.

Seasonal Puffin Encounters

If you visit between mid-April and late August, you’ll have the added bonus of seeing puffins. These vibrant seabirds nest along the coastline and are a highlight for nature lovers and photographers. Outside of puffin season, the tour focuses on whales and other rich marine life found in the bay.

Eco-Friendly Wildlife Viewing

The RIB boats are built for both performance and environmental care. Their design means less noise and disruption, making it possible to get closer to the wildlife without harming their natural environment. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking encounters while knowing they are treading lightly on nature.
