Husavík: Whale & Puffin Watching Tour in a RIB Speedboat

About this experience

Husavík Whale and Puffin Watching Tour in a RIB Speedboat This ticket secures your place on a two-hour guided speedboat tour across Skjálfandi Bay, one of Iceland's foremost whale watching destinations. Your English-speaking guide leads the trip aboard a RIB speedboat, reaching wildlife areas swiftly so that more time is spent watching and photographing marine life in their natural habitat. The guide provides live commentary throughout, helping guests spot up to 24 whale species that visit these waters, including humpback whales, minke whales, blue whales, harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins. From mid-April to mid-August, the guided tour includes a visit to Puffin Island for seabird watching. Around 70 percent of Arctic puffins nest in Iceland, giving guests 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 the trip.
