December has arrived and Christmas is around the corner. Our boats have been decorated with the annual lights. The boats look great and it certainly gives a nice Christmas atmosphere to Húsavík harbour and brightens up this darkest period of the year.
"Húsavík always looks beautiful. No matter the season. I love it here", says our captain and guide Daniel González from Spain, who is spending his first winter in Húsavík. There have been wonderful winter days recently with cold temperatures, snowfall and sunshine.
We have just released new gift card options where you can buy gift cards for all occasions and even with a discount. Surprise your near and dear ones with a gift card for a whale watching tour from Húsavík – the Whale Capital of Iceland.
Is Iceland on your bucket list once the situation gets better? We are happy to tell you that we are open for bookings for 2021. Book your whale watching adventure from Húsavík by a local family company with a long history in Skjálfandi Bay.
Even though our season has officially ended for scheduled tours this year, we are still always ready to try to accommodate any private requests. This morning our captain Sverrir took a small group of Mexicans out for a private sea angling tour on board Aþena.
Earlier than usual, our whale watching season has come to an end today, 30th of September. We'd like to thank all our passengers for having joined our tours throughout the last months, but also our crew on land and on the boats for making the tours possible.
As September continues, nature is constantly changing. In their autumn dress, plants and flowers appear in red, orange and yellow whilst the green summer colours slowly faint away. As the sun rises and travels over the bay, the mountains and coastline therefore shine in many different colours.
Last week, the Diamond Circle - a picturesque circuit of about 250km in the northeastern part of Iceland – was officially opened. The touring route connects the main tourism attractions in the area as well as many stunning sights and places along the way.
Last weekend surprised us in many ways: first of all several humpback whales had made their way into the bay. All of them were travelling calmly and spent a long time on the surface resting. Therefore, we were able to get some excellent looks at these magnificent marine mammals.
The beauty of Skjálfandi Bay and its ever-changing appearance make every single day become a new adventure. It's simply impossible to look one's fill as the colours of the mountains and the sky change throughout the day.
