Big Whale Safari & Puffins at Húsavík, Iceland

After you have been equipped with a warm safety overall and a life vest, step aboard a modern RIB speedboat and head out to the beautiful surroundings of Skjálfandi Bay. Your wildlife guide will demonstrate the safety on board and give you live commentary on the sights encountered throughout the tour.

Your first visit is Puffin Island during the nesting period (April 15th to August 20th approximately) where you can observe thousands of colourfully-beaked puffins, often called the Clowns of the Ocean

After a short pit stop by the island, your journey continues into the deeper waters of Skjalfandi Bay, and it is time to start looking out for whales. With the high speed, your boat can travel faster and increase the chances of spotting some of the bigger whales, such as majestic blue whales and acrobatic humpback whales, although it is good to keep in mind that nature is unpredictable.
