So Many Whales in Húsavík Right Now: Perfect For Whale Watching!

There are so many whales in Húsavík right now! We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning of the whale watching season!

The whales have begun to visit Húsavík much earlier than ever before and leave later than before. Now, March seems to be just as ideal for whale watching as October or November, and they were really successful whale spotting months!

And when in the Whale Capital of Iceland, one must go whale watching with North Sailing!

Perfect Beginning of the Whale Watching in Húsavík

Local fishermen had already informed us before the first whale watching tour that there were plenty of whales in Húsavík. Therefore, we crossed our fingers and hoped we would spot some whales in our first whale watching tour of the season. There’s always excitement in the air for the first trip and we waved good-bye as Náttfari sailed on out to the bay.

Little did we know that they would spot whales right away!
