Safari original sur les grandes baleines et macareux au départ de Húsavík

The tour was amazing! We joined the 3:00 PM tour on July 17, 2026, and saw lots of puffins, dolphins, and whales. Everything was perfectly organized and very well taken care of.

Excellent experience at the 9:30 PM time slot. Numerous sightings, even up close, of whales, dolphins, and puffins. The guide was kind and professional.

I can't recommend this tour enough. We saw so many puffins and more whales than I could possibly count — I truly never expected to see this many! The tour flew by so fast, but I was captivated by every single minute. Seeing the whales up close was something I simply can't put into words. It was absolutely incredible. The whole experience exceeded every expectation I had, and it's a memory from Iceland I'll treasure forever. If you're in Húsavík, don't miss Gentle Giants. Truly outstanding!

We did the GG2 tour with Fabio as our guide, and we had a wonderful experience. Fabio was very knowledgeable and passionate about the natural environments. He was able to share interesting facts and answer all of our questions. It was great to see both the whales and the puffins, so I’d recommend GG2 for that reason (in the smaller, faster boats there is time for both). Also these boats can get to the whales more quickly before they dive down. Highly recommend Gentle Giants - the whole experience was well-run, from booking to check in, and of course the tour itself.

We went out on a mild sunny day. While the first hour brought zero whale sightings and I started losing hope, the second part of the trip brought some amazing encounters. We saw a shy humpback that wanted nothing to do with us, playful one that made noises and splashes and finally a resting whale that we spent around 20 mins watching. We were also followed by many white beaked dolphins. Our guide Miro was wonderful, couldn’t have asked for a more excited and informative person.

Very interesting and exciting excursion. Clara was very knowledgeable, engaged and nice. Good service and information both in front and along the way.

Ask for Demetria. Wonderful guide. My wife became seasick and the Cpt and Demetria were very kind and thoughtful. We saw a couple minky whales. Didn't see the big ones, but the kids had a blast. Totally worth it. Saw lots of puffins too!

We couldn’t have chosen a better day of our stay in Iceland to go sailing around Húsavík Bay. When we parked the car, around 9am on June 9th, there were hardly any clouds, the temperature was quite pleasant, there was no wind at all and the sea was completely calm. At the GG office they told us that our guide would be Fabio, who was very friendly and approachable at all times. Before leaving, he gave us some good preliminary explanations and helped us to put on our clothes. The journey started at 10am. We had chosen to do it by speedboat, which was also a great decision. With the fantastic day and the sea so calm, we were able to move quickly and comfortably around the bay. First of all, we headed to Puffin Island, where we saw a large number of puffins flying and swimming around. After a few minutes, we went to look for the whales. Luck was also on our side with regard to the team leading the expedition. Sarah drove the boat and Fabio gave us very interesting and entertaining explanations about the environment, the behavior of the birds and the whales. All of this made us enjoy the experience to the fullest. And, as expected, we were able to see some whales alone, a pair moving together and a mother with her calf, as well as groups of dolphins that accompanied us for a while at the end of the trip. As there were so many of them, the team decided to extend the visit a little so that we could fully enjoy it. Once in Húsavík, we went to have lunch at one of the restaurants in the port, where we were able to taste the local cuisine, which was the culmination of an unforgettable day. Many thanks to the whole team for this wonderful experience!

Great nice tour made on the rib. Enthusiastic guide. Whales, puffins and dolphins spotted! Perfect!

We loved the tour. Additionally, we were lucky and saw everything: whales, dolphins, puffins, all with our guide Clara, who explained her extensive knowledge with enthusiasm and joy. I recommend it 100%.
