It is less than two weeks left until our first whale watching tour on 1st April. Spring has now arrived with the first European golden plover of the year, which was seen in the east of Iceland yesterday.
We are counting down the days until a new season starts in a month from now – on April 1st.The first tour will depart at 9:45 from Húsavík harbour. Usually that is one of the year’s most exciting trips, as it was so long since we sailed and we have no clue what will meet us out there.
A lot of things are going on at Gentle Giants even at this time of year when our boats are not leaving harbour. One important sales- and marketing event is the annual Mid-Atlantic Tradeshow, which Gentle Giants attended last weekend.
A new year has started, with new opportunities and yet another exciting whale watching season ahead. In less than three months from now, our first tour of 2015 will leave Húsavík harbour. Preparations are in full swing.
All our information is now updated for the 2015 season. Surf the site to get familiar with Gentle Giants' tours, timetables and prices, or skim through our sales manual for all information in one place.

With the end of October also our whale watching season ends. We are looking back on many great and successful months with awesome whale sightings. Both, crew and passengers that had been on our very last tour of this year will keep this trip in memories: we sighted a gentle humpback whale relaxing near the mountains on the other side of the bay.
Time flies and the first half of October is already over! From the 16th of October on we will have only one daily „GG1 Whale Watching Tour" departing at 9:45am. We‘ll keep on sailing throughout the month.
The past days had been really stormy and along with the winds, the first snow of this autumn fell from the sky, covering Húsavík Mountain in a white dress. Also the northern lights have been spectacular during these nights and were a great event to be watched whilst experiencing the stormy weather as it can be like in this time of the year.
