GG8 Whales & Horses

THE WHALE AND THE ICELANDIC HORSE

Experience the combination of traditional whale watching (GG1 Whale Watching) and the Icelandic horse. Explore the countryside close to Húsavík on an Icelandic horse with experienced riders at your side. The riding trip begins in Saltvík, which is just four minutes by car from Húsavík harbour and can be taken either before or after your whale watching tour.
