Why choose Gentle Giants for your Iceland whale watching experience?
Welcome aboard!
One of those days at sea that reminds us how unpredictable and fascinating wildlife can be. We were incredibly lucky to witness orcas hunting a seal in Skjálfandi Bay, a very rare sighting in our waters.

While we have enjoyed watching the whales feed over the past few days, the weather has other plans for us today, keeping us safely on land while the wind and waves take over the bay.
››MoreWhen people set out from Húsavík to search for whales in Skjálfandi Bay, the whales are naturally the main attraction. But there is much more to discover on a trip across the bay. With all the elements one can encounter along the way, the wonders of Skjálfandi Bay create an experience that goes far beyond simply spotting a whale.
