The staff were really nice and the guide Mark was excellent. Mark knew how to tell facts about the animals and was fun to listen to. We saw a few dolphins and lots of puffins and whales.

Magnificent and unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to see two humpback whales very close up, and the team, formed by Marc, Daniel, and Robert, was exceptional at all times, sharing very interesting scientific facts that made the experience even better, if possible. Absolutely a must-do if you come to the north of Iceland.

Spot whales and puffins in their natural habitat on a scenic cruise from Húsavík, guided by local wildlife experts.

Sail on a traditional oak boat to Puffin Island, home to over 100,000 puffins. They arrive here each summer to breed, nest, and raise their chicks along its rocky shores.

Hot chocolate and cinnamon buns served onboard make for an irresistible treat in Iceland’s crisp weather.

Warm overalls and raincoats will be provided if needed, so you can focus on the adventure, rain or shine.

The crew shares fascinating insights about local birds and whales, making the experience both fun and educational for all ages.

The tour and crew were great. We had a very good time and managed to see 4 whales. Marc, the guide, was really knowledgeable and gave a lot of insightful information about whales, puffins and other animals.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé la vue des baleines, par contre pas du tout "l'ile aux macareux" : nous avons vu l'ile mais pas les macareux ! sentiment d'arnaque

Overall it was a good tour. We did enjoy our tour and staff was very good and supportive.

Spot puffins and whales on a 3.5-hour cruise from Húsavík, guided by local experts with hot chocolate and cinnamon buns included.

Getting started

Check in at the harbor in Húsavík, where your crew will welcome you and provide warm overalls or raincoats if needed. After a brief introduction to the day’s route and safety, board the traditional wooden boat and set sail for Puffin Island.

Boarding point: North Sailing ticket office

What to expect

This half-day tour covers two key wildlife areas in North Iceland: Puffin Island, where over 100,000 puffins nest each summer, and Skjálfandi Bay, one of the region’s most reliable whale-watching spots. Puffin Island offers consistent sightings during breeding season, while the bay’s nutrient-rich waters attract various whale species for feeding.

Highlights

Puffin Island: Circle this bustling breeding ground, home to a large colony of Atlantic puffins from mid-April to late August. Over 60% of the world’s puffins breed in Iceland.

Whale watching: Scan the bay for humpback, minke, and other whales, guided by experts who share insights into local marine life and behavior.

Birdlife observation: Spot a variety of seabirds nesting and diving around the island, with the crew pointing out notable species.

Did you know? - Puffins can carry up to 10–20 fish in their beaks at once. Their tongues hold each fish in place while they keep catching more, making them some of the most efficient hunters in North Iceland’s waters.
