Experience the “Whale Watching Capital of Iceland” under the ethereal glow of the Midnight Sun. Our Evening Whale Watching Tour from Húsavík offers a serene, once-in-a-lifetime journey into Skjálfandi Bay. As the sun lingers on the horizon, painting the sky in shades of gold and purple, you’ll search for the giants of the sea in the most peaceful atmosphere imaginable. It is the ultimate choice for photographers and nature lovers seeking a tranquil escape.
The Golden Hour Glow: Sail under the legendary Midnight Sun, where the soft, Arctic light creates stunning reflections on the water and the Víknafjöll mountains.
Photographer’s Dream: Take advantage of the unique lighting conditions that only the North of Iceland can offer—perfect for capturing high-definition shots of breaching whales.
Majestic Wildlife: Encounter Humpback, Minke, and Blue whales, alongside dolphins and seabirds, as they feed in the nutrient-rich waters of the bay.
Authentic Oak Boat Sailing: Experience the quiet grace of a traditional Icelandic oak boat, providing a stable and eco-friendly platform for wildlife viewing.
Icelandic Comforts: Warm up on deck with a steaming cup of hot cocoa and a freshly baked traditional cinnamon bun on the return journey.
A Peaceful Atmosphere: Enjoy a quieter tour with fewer boats on the water, allowing for a deeper connection with the ocean’s giants.
The Golden Departure (20:00): Meet our team at the Húsavík Ticket Centre (located across from the iconic church) 30 minutes before departure. As you board our traditional vessel, the evening air turns crisp and the harbor begins to glow with the setting sun that never quite disappears.
Into the Deep: We head out into Skjálfandi Bay, where our expert crew uses years of knowledge to track the movements of the whales. Under the Midnight Sun, the water is often calmer, making it easier to spot the misty blow of a Humpback or the dorsal fin of a Minke whale against the horizon.
The Arctic Return: As we cruise back to Húsavík, relax on deck with your cinnamon bun and cocoa. The unique colors of the evening vary with nature’s mood, ensuring that your specific “Midnight Sun” experience is truly one-of-a-kind.
Duration: 3 Hours.
Departure Time: 20:00 (Available during peak summer months).
Location: Húsavík Harbor, North Iceland.
Included: Professional guide, warm overalls, hot chocolate, and cinnamon buns.
Important: This tour is weather-dependent to ensure safety and the best possible experience.
While daytime tours are spectacular, the evening tour is magical. There is a profound silence that settles over the bay at night, broken only by the sound of a whale breathing. For those looking to avoid the daytime rush and see Iceland’s nature at its most poetic, the Sleipnir-inspired evening ride on the waves is the only way to go.
