“It was a fantastic trip in every way and such an enjoyable start of the season,” said Heimir Harðarson, captain at North Sailing, who went on the first whale watching trip of the year this weekend. We sailed from the harbour in Húsavík on the old oak boat Náttfari with around 20 people on board. Conditions were excellent, with mild weather and calm seas.
In a world of new challenges, it is more important than ever to act responsibly for our guests and our team’s safety. Joining the Icelandic Tourist Board project, Clean and Safe, goes without saying for us at North Sailing. It is an honour to be part of the project to safely and responsibly welcome visitors to Iceland.
Breaching humpback whales of Húsavík were the stars of the show this year when they appeared in the movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. They were also a common sight in our whale watching tours in Skjálfandi Bay, just like they have been for the last 25 years.
