• PRIVATE LUXURY EXPERIENCES POPULAR . Apart from a busy whale watching summer, there has been a high demand for all kinds of private tours. We have shaped unique adventures for groups, families and individuals to get their own tailor made experience of Skjálfandi Bay. Our diverse fleet opens endless possibilities such as private VIP RIB whale watching tours, sea angling, filming projects and boat transfers to various locations, to name just a few examples of exciting projects during the last weeks. . One of the most luxurious private experiences that we offer is Flatey Island. Gentle Giants has very strong roots to the island and good facilities for fine outdoor dining. Passengers first get to experience the whales of Skjálfandi Bay before heading to Flatey Island. The island is known for rich birdlife and upon arrival, guests have an option to go on a guided tour around the island to see some of the highlights. To top the experience, guests end with a fully loaded delicious BBQ by a professional chef, dining out in remote beautiful nature of Flatey Island. The atmosphere that is usually created on such tours is amazing. . Here are some photos taken from Flatey Island tours lately by Stefán Guðmundsson, CEO & Captain. Let the photos speak for themselves. . -Daniel . . . #gentlegiantswhalewatching #visithusavik #capturethenorth #flateyisland #skjalfandibay #privatetours #amazingexperience #visitnorthiceland #arcticcoastway #finedining #islandlife

  • ACROBATIC AND CURIOUS HUMPBACK WHALES . Húsavík – the Whale Capital of Iceland at its best. Many humpback whales have been spotted in Skjálfandi Bay lately and even been showing very active and curious behaviours to much joy for passengers and crew. . Breaching, lobtailing, spy-hopping, flipper-slapping and curiously checking out the boats are some of the encounters that eager whale watchers have got to experience on the tours. Of course this is wild nature and unpredictable but it is indeed a privilege to witness these valuable moments. . Here is a video taken by captain Hallgrímur recently on board our RIB speedboat on GG2 Big Whale Safari & Puffins. It is worth mentioning, that the boat is completely stopped and the whale approaches the boat. . It is sure to say, that the high season is going on at the moment. The number of domestic and international guests visiting Húsavík so far is much more than expected after COVID-19. Many days have been fully booked by us and extra tours added to respond to the demand. We recommend booking in advance on our website if you want to experience the wildlife of Skjálfandi Bay. . -Daniel

  • Beautiful humpback going for a deep dive. The pattern on the underside of the flukes are unique and no individuals have the same – just like fingerprints. Skjálfandi Bay has been full of humpback whales and successful tours 🐳🙏🏼 . 📷 @joostvannis
