Our boat trip was so exciting. We were lucky and saw whales too close to our boat. Thank you very much for fantastic experience

Great sighting of whales, the staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The equipment was good to cut the wind and cold air, the boat was stable despite the big waves, but most likely due to the good steering of the captain. Great close up view of the humpback whales, we moved spots a few times to find different ones. Recommended

Would highly recommend the Big Whales RIB boat tour from Húsavík! Unfortunately, we did not see any puffins; however, the whales were AMAZING in the ocean to see.

The experience was amazing! We saw three whales, some of them very close! In addition, the tours are very individual. Personally, I found the small groups much more pleasant than the large ships.

This was such a magical experience it’s hard to put into words. Very professional and exciting. It was so magical to see four humpback 🐋 whales in their environment. So awesome . 😎

Husavik Adventures is highly recommended for the RIB boar tours in Husavik. From providing complete timely advise, they were very professional and helpful from helping us to reschedule our tour due to bad weather, and by providing informative details during the tour. We saw 6 - 8 humpback whales during our 2-hour tour and were privileged to share the same waters with these majestic mammals, close enough to experience the blowhole spray on our faces :)

We had 2 fun guides from Spain that drove great far out in ocean safely. We learned about species of whales and other sea life. We were close taking photos of 3 almost full grown Humpback whales❤️❤️❤️.

Exceptional service and very knowledgeable guides on this tour. They know exactly where and when to look when going near the areas of previous sightings. The locations are a hit or miss when it comes to sightings but you will have a blast to and from the dock. Would go back if we ever got the chance!
