Experience a classic…
They don’t call Husavik the “Whale Capital of Iceland” for nothing. Whale-watching on Skjalfandi Bay is the most popular activity in this town of 2,182 people. A quartet of local companies will take you on the excursions; for a three-hour spin on a traditional oak fishing boat, book with Salka Whale Watching.
Now go deeper…
In addition to its thriving marine life, Husavik is known for its abundance of geothermal springs. The town’s man-made swimming pool and naturally bubbly lake are good local haunts. For a more refined dip, head to the months-old Geosea Geothermal Sea Baths, perched high above the port town. The spa facility pulls its mineral-rich seawater from two drill holes in the Husavikurhofdi headland. The baths feature a half-dozen interconnected infinity pools heated between 100 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit, including one with a built-in waterfall and swim-up bar. Float to the water’s edge to see the whale-watching boats coming and going in the harbor below. If you’re lucky, you might spot a humpback or minke breaching the stillness of the bay.
