Gentle Giants Húsavík

We are Gentle Giants, a family-owned company based in Húsavík, Iceland, the whale-watching capital of the country. With over 160 years of history in Skjálfandi Bay, we offer unforgettable tours where you can encounter some of the world's largest whales, including humpbacks and blues, along with dolphins and vibrant birdlife like puffins. Our commitment to sustainable tourism is reflected in our fleet of traditional Icelandic fishing boats, repurposed to minimize environmental impact while respecting cultural heritage. At Gentle Giants, we combine adventure with education. Our experienced guides provide insights into the local culture and marine ecosystem, and we work with researchers to support marine biology studies. We ensure you have the best adventures while creating lasting memories.
