Experience the future of wildlife tourism with our Silent Whale Watching Tour. Setting sail from Húsavík, the “Whale Capital of Iceland,” this award-winning journey swaps the roar of a diesel engine for the whisper of an electric motor. Glide across Skjálfandi Bay on a carbon-neutral vessel, allowing you to approach the ocean’s giants with zero emissions and minimum disturbance. It is the most tranquil, respectful, and immersive way to meet the whales in their natural habitat.
Silent Electric Sailing: Experience the magic of Andvari, our state-of-the-art electric boat. Powered by sustainable energy, it glides through the water in total silence.
Hear the Whales: Without engine noise, you can actually hear the powerful “blow” of a Humpback or Blue whale from a distance—a visceral sound that diesel tours often miss.
Carbon-Neutral Adventure: Reduce your travel footprint. This tour is 100% powered by renewable Icelandic energy, making it one of the most eco-friendly experiences in the world.
Respectful Wildlife Encounters: Our electric propulsion causes minimal acoustic disturbance, allowing for a more natural and calm interaction with whales and dolphins.
Expert Eco-Guides: Learn from a professional crew specially trained in responsible whale watching conduct and marine biology.
Traditional Icelandic Treats: As we cruise back to the harbor, warm up with a steaming cup of organic hot chocolate and freshly baked cinnamon buns.
Departure from Húsavík: Your journey begins at the Húsavík harbor. After boarding our sleek electric vessel, you’ll notice the immediate difference: no fumes, no vibration, and no noise. As we leave the pier, the only sound is the water rippling against the hull.
The Silent Search: We navigate the nutrient-rich waters of Skjálfandi Bay. Because our boat is silent, the whales are often more relaxed around the vessel. This allows for breathtakingly close (yet respectful) encounters. When a whale surfaces to breathe, the sound of the blow echoing across the quiet bay is a moment of pure magic that stays with you forever.
The Eco-Connection: While we watch the whales, your guide will explain how our sustainable technology helps protect the Arctic marine environment. You’ll gain a new appreciation for these “gentle giants” and the importance of preserving their silent world.

It is a profound, meditative experience that represents the best of Icelandic innovation and nature.
