GENTLE GIANTS WHALE WATCHING
Gentle Giants specializes in whale-watching excursions in Húsavík. Their boat tours depart from Húsavík harbor, just below their ticket center. The most common whale species in Skjálfandi Bay are harbor porpoise, white-beaked dolphin, Minke, humpback and blue whales. Gentle Giants also offers extra warm clothing on board their boats, but passengers are advised to bring their own warm, waterproof clothing. In the event of bad weather, excursions may be cancelled or modified for safety reasons. People with reduced mobility can also take part in the excursions; simply contact Gentle Giants in advance to arrange this.

I enjoy nights in Brixton, Shoreditch in the afternoon
We were lucky to have only 6 other people with us that day, so it felt like private tour.
Our guide was Miro, he did fantastic job.
I have to say we got really lucky with weather, it was warm, absolutely no wind and we have seen so many whales I forgot the count!
They give you overall and heavy raincoat, so you don't have to worry about being wet. The only recommendation-wear more socks. I wore just one thick pair with winter boots and that was the only part of my body that was cold from time to time, as you just stand there doing nothing. Wear as many pairs as you can fit ????
The other tour provider (who pops first on google when you search for whale watching) had full boat of tourists and they came after us, so we always did get better view! Go with Gentle giants, you won't regret it.
