The Big Whale Safari and Puffins Speedboat Tour departs from Húsavík and lasts two hours. It takes place on a fast, modern RIB speedboat designed for speed and stability, covering a wide area of Skjálfandi Bay to increase the chances of spotting large whales. The tour includes a professional guide who provides live commentary about Iceland’s wildlife and natural environment throughout the trip. Passengers receive warm safety overalls, which are mandatory, and rain jackets if needed to stay comfortable. From about April 15 to August 15, the tour focuses on viewing puffins, often including a visit to Puffin Island, weather permitting. Outside this period, the emphasis shifts more to whale watching. The itinerary may change depending on weather and sea conditions, including the possible omission of Puffin Island. The tour is operated by a locally owned family company based in Húsavík. Transportation to and from the departure point is not included, but the departure location is within walking distance of most accommodations in Húsavík. Passengers must arrive at the Gentle Giants Ticket Center at least 40 minutes before departure. The tour is not suitable for pregnant women or passengers with heart or back problems. Children must be at least 8 years old, 130 cm tall, and accompanied by an adult. If no whales or dolphins are spotted, passengers are not refunded but may receive a voucher for a traditional whale watching tour, subject to availability.
