Gentle Giants Whale Watching

Húsavík is a small town in the north of Iceland on the shores of Skjálfandi bay. It is an easy drive from Myvatan and a good stopping point off the A1.

Húsavík has become a centre of whale watching in the north due to whales of different species that frequently enter the bay. It is also home to the Icelandic Phallological Museum,which contains specimens from every mammal that lives in Iceland. We didnt view this one!

We chose Gentle Giants for our tour and can highly recommend them.

The boats are well looked after and it is clearly a well regulated industry here with plenty of safety equipment with lots of recent test dates ;)

The tour itself was good .. nearly 2 hrs long and of course we got to see some whales.

The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about the whales and get us well briefed through out the tour.

refreshments were served mid trip and with a boat not too packed it was highly enjoyable.

We also took in the whales and horses ticket and enjoyed an icelandic horse ride ... the same comments fit for the well run stables.

worth visiting and enjoying the trips!
