Group Experiences in Húsavík

Join a 3-hour whale-watching tour from Húsavík, and see marine mammals in their natural habitat. Sail into Skjálfandi Bay on a restored Icelandic oak boat and explore one of the main whale-watching areas in North Iceland. A wildlife guide provides a safety briefing and live commentary during the trip, with information about whales, seabirds, and the local marine environment.

Ride a RIB speedboat that's faster than the wind and take to Skjálfandi Bay where larger whales swim. With 24 species of whales in the area, there's a good chance of seeing a variety of beautiful sea behemoths. The ones likely to be spotted are humpbacks, minkes, blue whales, harbor porpoises, and the white-beaked dolphin. From April 15 to August 15 (approximately) you can take a trip to Puffin Island. Around 70% of Arctic Puffins nest around Iceland, so the opportunity is rife for wildlife lovers.

For centuries, the geothermal pools north of Húsavík has been known to residents, who have utilized it for bathing and washing. Drilling for hot water at Húsavíkurhöfði in the mid-20th century revealed water that turned out to be hot seawater, too rich in minerals to be suitable for heating houses. Instead of letting this hot water go to waste, an old cheese barrel was installed at Húsavíkurhöfði. There, Húsavík residents could enjoy the health benefits of bathing in hot seawater. Those suffering from skin conditions such as psoriasis have found relief by bathing in the water, which is at an optimal temperature of 38°-39°C.
