  • "We loved Moby Dick because the group was smaller then all the big companies and also our boat was super respectful to the animals we were observing, Definitely recommend!!!"

  • "Guide was very knowledgeable and the ship is beautiful, clearly taken very good care of by the experienced captain! Looking forward to going again some time in the future."

  • "Great trip with an excellent guide from Portugal. She knew so much that it made our trip extra interesting. When a “crazy” whale jumped 5 times , it made our trip even more special!!"

Join our unique story

Our founder,owner and head captain, Arnar was the first captain sailing whale watching tours from Húsavík. The first boat „Vinur” (isl. „Friend”) started sailing back in 1994 and shortly after „Moby Dick” in 1996.

Our team may seem small but you will be in very experienced hands.

Since 2023, in the pristine waters of Skjálfandi Bay, the new „Moby Dick” is out at sea and we offer daily tours departing from Húsavík Harbour.

Do you need accomodation too? We’re here to help!

Our family owns a special Guesthouse in the heart of Húsavík. We want our guests to feel welcome & enjoy the highlights of our home town - all guests at Gamli Skólinn can get a special % discount for our Whale Watching tours.
