Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
Soon we will be sailing out from Húsavík harbour into the beautiful waters of Skjálfandi Bay again: In just half a month, on April 1st, our whale watching season begins — and we couldn’t be more excited! This year is especially meaningful for us as we celebrate our 25th year of offering whale watching tours from Húsavík, with daily departures running until November 30th.
