Welcome to our small, family-run whale watching company in Húsavík, Iceland’s whale watching capital. Our family has been sailing Skjálfandi Bay since 1994, and today we continue to share our experience and knowledge of the bay with visitors from around the world.

Our experienced crew will take you out into Skjálfandi Bay in search of whales and other marine life, while sharing their knowledge of the wildlife, the bay and the surrounding area. We follow the Icelandic Code of Conduct for Responsible Whale Watching, allowing guests to experience these animals in their natural environment while keeping their wellbeing in mind.

Join us aboard VINUR for a personal and authentic whale watching experience with a local family-run company and over 30 years of experience on Skjálfandi Bay.

What you'll do

Depart from Húsavík harbour aboard VINUR and sail into Skjálfandi Bay, surrounde
d by the mountains and coastline of North Iceland. Head out onto the viewing decks as our experienced crew searches for whales and other marine life. Humpback and minke whales are among the species most commonly seen in the bay, while white-beaked dolphins, blue whales, fin whales and other cetaceans may also be encountered. When wildlife is spotted, we slow down and spend time observing the animals respectfully in their natural environment. Your guide will share information about the whales, their behaviour and the marine ecosystem of Skjálfandi Bay. During the tour, you can move between the outdoor viewing areas and VINUR’s heated indoor seating area, making the journey comfortable in Iceland’s changing weather. After approximately 2.5–3 hours on Skjálfandi Bay, return to Húsavík harbour.
