Hólmavík Whale Watching

On our Hólmavík Whale Watching activity, you'll have an experience in North West Iceland. We'll set sail through the Westfjords region and look out for humpback whales and more!

Hólmavík Whale Watching

At your chosen time, we'll meet on Hafnarbraut Street at the Port of Hólmavík. We'll board our boat and set sail through the North Atlantic in search of the whales that inhabit Iceland's northwest coast.

We'll sail through the Westfjords region and start to spot whales. The most common species in this area is the humpback whale, known for its acrobatic tricks while swimming. These animals can weigh up to 50 tonnes, and their songs can be heard up to 100 miles (160 kilometres) away. We'll discuss these facts during the activity.

Keep an eye out for Minke whales, dolphins, sperm whales, killer whales, and even pilot whales during our boat trip.

After a 2-hour boat trip, we'll finish the activity upon our arrival back at the starting point. See you next time!
