THE SHOW CONTINUES...
Recently, our tours have been truly magnificent with humpbacks showing up on all our departures. The whales seem to be moving back and forth along the Cheek Mountains feasting on huge amounts of small schooling fish near the coast.

November so far has brought beautiful winter weather to the town of Húsavík. Frost flowers decorate the town in the early morning and the sunrise throws a beautiful color play onto the mountains and over the bay.

As every day so far in November, we left the harbor on our beautiful oak boat Sylvía just shortly after sunrise today in the late morning. The sunlight was throwing beautiful colours onto the town and mountains as we left the pier.

FORBES JOURNALISTS ABOARD OUR GG2 BIG WHALE SAFARI AND PUFFINS
Earlier this season we posted an article about the Arctic Coast Way, which was ranked as one of the top places to visit this year. The Arctic Coast Way is Iceland’s first official tourist route and was opened in June 2019. Húsavík is located along the named route and one should definitely not miss planning in a stopover in our cosy town, which is also called Iceland’s Capital for Whale Watching.
