A dedicated family business that respects wildlife and nature, a carbon neutral tour

North Sailing is a family-run business that respects wildlife and nature. Its original whale-watching excursion in Húsavík has been the preferred choice of visitors for over 25 years. The excursion is now offered in a carbon-neutral way, on Andvari and Opal electric boats, with minimal disturbance to whales and nature. North Sailing also offers excursions on unique traditional sailing boats and the discovery of the famous puffins. Hot chocolate and cinnamon buns included.

Everyone was very kind and saw many whales. But as an avid animal lover it felt very harassing to the whales. They clearly weren't comfortable. I drove very far to have this experience but felt so sad leaving. I will not be posting online any photos or supporting whale watching until better practices are in place. It felt very much boats racing to get over to them and they then immediately went under they didn't want to be bothered. And we saw the same whale many times. It felt harassing. We saw them now let's move on. Not keep stalking. Two boats in the bay racing and circling whales. Very sad.

A much better experience but maybe not as popular but a boat ride if you see a whale or two great. But I felt very much a part of a HUNT. Not my vibe.

Educational moments were also minimal. I would like to know more about how North Sailing supports these species. Funding, research, etc. Crew seemed to not have any answers. Just seemed very commercial and not a protective process. Highly disappointed. My whole trip was planned around Husavik. I changed my plans and immediately drove back. It was very sad and disheartening. Would not support whale watching in Iceland until they can do better to protect these beautiful giants. They deserve it. They are mammals and feel and experience stress. It's not okay.

Fantastic team and well organised whale watching trip. Once we spotted a whale, the captain came a bit closer so we can see it better, the team was trying to spot the animals, told us facts about whales and on the way back served hot chocolate wit cinnamon buns to keep everyone warm on a cold day.

Comment partir d’Islande sans être allé voir les baleines à Husavik ?!. Nous avons vu des baleines, des dauphins, des macareux et des phoques. Nous avons navigué en fin de journée et nous sommes revenu à Husavik aux alentours de minuit. Équipe sympathique, équipement sécurisant. Quel bonheur d’admirer le soleil qui se couche sur la mer, sachant que durant l’été le soleil ne se couche pas réellement. Nous avons vu des baleines à plusieurs reprises. Je recommande. De beaux souvenirs

J’ai eu le plaisir de participer au tour original de 3 heures offert par North Sailing et l’expérience fut mémorable. Le capitaine et l’équipage se sont avérés très efficaces dans leur repérage et pour nous positionner au meilleur endroit possible, toujours en gardant une distance sécuritaire. Nous avons pu observer des douzaines de baleines de 3 espèces différentes, dont une majorité de baleines à bosse. North Sailing semble adopter des pratiques responsables pour aider à préserver ces espèces menacées et leurs excursions nous sensibilisent à cet égard. Des habits « par-dessus » doublés sont fournis gratuitement. Malgré tout, attention à s’habiller avec du linge relativement chaud, même en période estivale (tuque, cache-cou, gants…). Le nombre de stationnements est limité alors s’il manque de place, vous pouvez aller dans le stationnement public qui se trouve derrière la Húsavíkurkirkja.

We had a wonderful and well organised whale whatching experience at the 1st of November. We saw a lot of humpback whales and the guides were entertaining and they gave us interesting information. We had the feeling that they really care about the whales and they are very passionate. We can fully recomand whale whatching with North Sailing.
