Húsavík - Iceland's Whale Capital

Today's activities include whale watching and a visit to the Geosea baths. Nestled on the tranquil shores of Skjálfandi Bay in northern Iceland, Húsavík is known as "The Whale Capital of Iceland." This charming town draws nature lovers and adventurers alike for its exceptional whale-watching opportunities. As you arrive, the harbor buzzes with excitement as travelers prepare for boat trips to see marine giants like humpback whales, minke whales, and even the awe-inspiring blue whale. Beyond its whale-watching fame, Húsavík offers a quirky side with the well-known "Jaja Ding Dong" bar, a playful nod to the Eurovision movie, and the Moon Museum, which features art pieces sent to the moon on Apollo 12, adding a cosmic connection to the town’s appeal.
