We booked the tour a few days in advance when it became clear that we would be in Husavik in time. Boarding was fine. The main part of the experience was of course the whale watching. It started with a number of puffins. Then the first humpback whales showed up. Most of them showed their fin. The highlight of the tour was a blue whale which also showed its fin.
We personally preferred the classic wooden boat. It doesn't run fast but the captain managed to get us really close to the whales (Cudos !!). As it was off season there was enough space on the boat and everybody could have a good view. It also means that there are not that many boats out there.
In summary again: highly recommended!

Many thanks for this amazing review! Glad to hear that you had a "wonderful experience" whale watching with us from Húsavík with both humpback whales and even a blue whale! It really sounds like you had the best of tours. The traditional oak boats indeed offer a great atmosphere and experience for whale watching. Thank you for highly recommending Gentle Giants!

We were able to see several whales (back and tails).
They did not stay on the surface for long (for fear?), but the captain was experienced enough to know where and when to observe.
It approached while remaining at a sufficient distance for the well-being of the whales.
Personally I was both happy to have seen the whales for the first time but a little frustrated because they appeared on a short time...!
Couldn't take pictures, it was very cold!
On the agency side, they provided us with hot suits and a snack, professionals, I recommend.

Dear Loubna I,
Thank you for your nice review! I am happy to see that you enjoyed the experience and the whales, although they did not stay long on the surface. Usually the humpback whales come up a few times to breath before going down for a deep-dive. Glad to hear that you felt the captain was respectful towards the wildlife. Thank you for recommending the tour! All the best, Daniel

We went out on their wooden boat Sylvia which had been the first time in a couple of weeks due to a storm.
The swell was quite big but we enjoyed the trip tremendously. Our skipper & guide were fantastic!
It took a little while to spot a whale, but we saw a couple of humpbacks which as a first time whale watcher was a magical experience. A pod of dolphins were seen too.
The ticket office staff were also very helpful and friendly.
Would certainly go with Gentle Giants again if I visited Husavik again!

Thanks for your kind words about your captain, guide, and ticket office staff. We’d love to welcome you back to Húsavík for another adventure someday!
Best regards,

A truly once in a lifetime experience, hosted by a friendly, knowledgable and very skilled crew. Staff were very understanding of our late arrival due to Ice. The tour was incredible and we were fortunate enough to see a Humpback Whale. We were well kitted for the weather and looked after. Discounts are also provided for some attractions in Husavik. Would highly recommend!

The guides and staff were super nice, and the boat was good enough for watching the whales. It was a bumpy ride though so I would not recommend if you are very sensitive to sea sickness.
When we came, we were able to see a good amount of whale sightings, but it was the same 2-3 whales that were just feeding and resurfacing for air, although in total we had about 7-8 "sightings". They did not jump out of the water or do any of that fancy stuff like I was expecting. For most of it, I just saw their tails go down into the water. Still cool though.
I would recommend it if you've never done it before, but I wouldn't stress too much if you weren't able to accommodate for this on your trip. I also think that the amphibian boat is more than enough; you don't need to get the speedboat ticket since either way you will be watching from afar, and we were never too far behind the speedboats anyway.

Dear Jonathan,
thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience with us.
I am however sorry to hear that the tour and whale sightings did not fully meet your expectations.
Humpback whales are here around Iceland for their feeding season indeed and so that is what keeps them quite busy as they only feed for the few months that they spend in our waters (the seas they call their home during winter don't supply enough food). While we do see them jump from time to time as well as do other acrobatic moves, it is unfortunately not an every day's sight therefore.
I am glad to read that you still enjoyed the sightings of the 2-3 whales you saw and hope you will remember them in a good way! Thank you also very much for the kind words towards our staff!
Best regards
Sarah

Great tour. The guide (Matteo) was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of whales fact while we were watching them. We were able to spot three different types of whales, always from a safe distance and with respect for them. The boats don't have radars and have super silent motors to avoid bothering the animals

Hi! Me and my family will be arriving at iceland at the end of July. Is it necessary to book the whale watching tour in advance or is it allright to just arrive at the tour times at your office?
كُتب بتاريخ 21 يونيو 2019
Thank you for your question!
July is generally a very busy time here so especially if your schedule is not so flexible we would recommend booking in advance to ensure your tour is at your preferred date and time, and also to ensure there is space onboard for everyone in your group.
You can choose to pay on arrival, and can contact our ticket centre at info@gentlegiants.is if you need to make adjustments to your booking to suit your plans as the time comes closer.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Charla

I am planning to be there mid October 2018. How likely is it that we will see whales on your tour at that time of year?
كُتب بتاريخ 3 يونيو 2018
Very low. But make sure to check the weather and cancel if it is bad. They don’t care how bad the weather is, we did a tour today and it was pouring rain and the waves almost knocked over the boat multiple times and the company didn’t care.

Hi
We are coming whale watching in mid June . What is a more likely time of day to see whales in your experience ? Early morning , afternoon or evening ? Do appreciate they are unpredictable though.
Many thanks
كُتب بتاريخ 11 مارس 2018
Dear skippy029,
Thank you for your question!
There is no time of the day when we are more likely to encounter see the whales, really. They come and go and the situation in the bay can change very fast. Nature is unpredictable, like you write. Every trip is a new, unique adventure and that is what makes whale watching so exciting!
I recommend you to pick a departure time that suits your other travel plans and then keep an eye on the forecast in advance as the weather conditions play a bigger role in our chances of seeing whales, rather than the time of day you go to sea.
Hope this helps you. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
All the best,

Is there a certain time of year when whales breach? We have seen plenty of whale's tails on whale watching trips in other parts of the world, but would like to have a chance to see whales breaching. Also, is it generally better to go in the morning or afternoon to see whales and to have calmer sea conditions?
كُتب بتاريخ 1 ديسمبر 2017
Dear SammyK5,
Thank you for your question!
The whales' behaviour is very unpredictable and that is what makes whale watching so exciting as no two tours are ever the same. Both the previous answers here (from Joop V and conrad p) are completely correct!
There is no time of day when the whales are more or less active. Humpbacks are often acrobatic and we usually have them in our bay throughout the season. We have a feeling that they tend to breach more during rough sea conditions, but it does happen when the sea is calm too.
If you decide to give our whale watching a go, I hope you will be one of the lucky ones to have a gentle giant breach for you.
All the best,
Alexia Askelöf

Dear Charlinepiescik,
Thank you for your message and interest in going whale watching with us!
Now in November we run one daily departure at 10:45. Our chances of encountering whales are very high – up to 98% throughout the season. Though, as whale watching is quite weather dependent it is a good idea to check the forecast in advance and/or be in touch with us again when it gets closer.
Most welcome to Húsavík!
