Whale watching

There are four different companies offering whale-watching trips here in Húsavík: Friends of Moby Dick , Gentle Giants, Húsavík Adventures and North Sailing . All of the companies have very friendly, multilingual guides who are passionate about whales, many of them working for the companies for many years. The local companies are also active participants in the education and research of the whales. Húsavík´s harbor is a hive of activity in this respect, because as well as the four whale-watching companies that use the docks, there is the Whale Museum and the University of Iceland´s research center. There are partnerships between these organizations and the whale-watching companies, with many boat trips containing researchers.
