Midnight Sun Whale Watching from Húsavík

Sail from Húsavík under the golden glow of the midnight sun. Enjoy a peaceful evening whale watching tour on our traditional oak boats, surrounded by the soft Arctic evening light over Skjálfandi Bay.

Experience the quiet beauty of whale watching under the midnight sun. Departing from Húsavík at 20:00, this three-hour evening tour offers the same unforgettable adventure as our classic Húsavík Original Whale Watching — but in the soft, golden light of the Arctic summer.

As the sea calms and the sun lingers above the horizon, Skjálfandi Bay takes on a truly magical atmosphere. The evenings are often more tranquil, offering excellent opportunities for photography and a deeper connection with nature. Our experienced crew will guide you as you search for whales, dolphins, and seabirds, sharing stories about the wildlife and the surrounding landscape.

Relax on board our beautifully restored oak boats, soak up the peaceful light, and enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and cinnamon buns as we sail through Skjálfandi Bay. It’s a unique way to experience Iceland’s whales — and the wonder of the midnight sun.

Please note: The tour is dependent on weather conditions, and while the midnight sun often paints the bay in beautiful colours, nature decides the light and atmosphere each evening.
