We were very lucky, we saw many whales around the bay! Our guides were super kind, funny and well prepared. Towards the end we were also served a cinnamon cookie and a hot chocolate. 100% recommend.

Set sail from Húsavík on a silent whale watching tour aboard a carbon-neutral oak boat, nature’s wonders, minus the engine noise.

Spot humpback whales, minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, and porpoises in their natural North Iceland habitat, guided by local pioneers on eco-friendly tours.

Stay comfortable in thermal overalls provided for the trip. Warm up with hot chocolate and freshly baked cinnamon buns on your return journey.

Glide across Skjálfandi Bay on a traditional oak vessel, designed for a peaceful and environmentally conscious adventure.

The silent, emission-free boat lets you hear the ocean and wildlife, no engine rumble, just pure Arctic serenity.

Set sail from Húsavík on a silent, carbon neutral oak boat for a whale watching tour and marine wildlife adventure.

Getting started

Arrive at the North Sailing meeting point in Húsavík, where crew members greet you and guide you to the oak boat. After a quick safety briefing and ticket check, you’ll board and prepare for departure.

What to expect

North Sailing, established in 1995 in Húsavík, is recognized as Iceland’s pioneer in whale watching. This tour offers an authentic marine wildlife experience on a carbon neutral vessel. The electric engine of Andvari makes no noise, allowing the boat to approach passing whales with minimal disturbance while keeping the tour fully sustainable.

About Andvari

Originally constructed in Akureyri in 1975, this oak vessel is North Sailing’s 10th restored heritage boat, carefully rebuilt into a fully electric, carbon-neutral cruiser in 2015. Its name, chosen through a public competition, comes from Old Norse and translates to “a gentle breeze that glides silently through the air.” It’s a fitting identity for a boat that now sails Skjálfandi Bay without engine rumble, letting guests hear the ocean, the seabirds, and even the first whale blow echo across the water.

What to bring

Although warm overalls will be provided, dress in warm, layered clothing and carry a windproof, waterproof jacket. The weather on Skjálfandi Bay can shift drastically.

Opt for sturdy, non-slip shoes that keep you steady on the deck.

A hat, gloves, and scarf go a long way on this breezy bay.

Bring a camera or binoculars if you want to capture close-up moments, but avoid flash to keep the experience gentle for the whales.

What’s not allowed

For safety and space reasons, large bags, suitcases, and bulky luggage can’t be taken onboard.

Alcohol, drugs, or boarding under the influence are strictly prohibited.

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the vessel.

Pets must stay ashore, except for registered service animals.

Accessibility

The Andvari is wheelchair accessible. Please contact the tour operator prior to arrival.

The tour is not recommended for pregnant guests or those with back or neck concerns.

Additional Information

Tours may be rescheduled or canceled if the weather turns severe.

Whale sightings, while common, can never be guaranteed in the wild. We need to keep it that way to protect their natural freedom

Children under 7 can join free of charge but must remain under close adult supervision.

Plan to arrive at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before departure for a smooth boarding process.

If your tour yields no whale sightings, you’re welcome to return on another day at no extra cost.
