whale watching
The “whale watching capital” Húsavik is located in the northeast of Iceland. Skálfandi Bay offers the best viewing opportunities for different types of whales. The most common sight is humpback whales. You can book different tours with different types of boats from the local providers. If you don't necessarily want to do a tour (with short-term bookings on the day of the tour, it can happen that all tours are fully booked), I recommend waiting to see what the weather is like on the day of the tour and taking a Zodiac tour if the sea is smooth book (this tour can get extremely wet due to splashing water). The speed of the boats allows a larger radius of action, which significantly increases the chance of sightings and, in addition, the whales actually come closer to the inflatable boat than to the larger boats (inappropriately mostly old whaling boats).
