    High intelligence, They do wave and performing. Freedom is everything for animals like it is for humans. Beautiful film!

    It's almost like they're performing synchronised, it's insane.

    Hi Sarah,
    Great great video! Im actually preparing my trip to Iceland, but we are a bit hesitant since it would be a big detour to Husavik for us. I would appreciate your honest opinion: Are the chances good to see whales in the first week of October?
    Kind regards and thanks for the lovely upload

      The videos are filmed on-board the boats of Gentle Giants Whale Watching. There's two types of tours: one on the traditional oak boat (refurbished former Icelandic fishing boats) and the other on RIB speed boats. Below are the links for both types of tours, where you'll also find more information on each tour as well as the company.
      For the oak boat: gentlegiants.is/tours-and-bookings/gg1-whale-watching
      For the speed boat: gentlegiants.is/tours-and-bookings/gg2-big-whale-safari-and-puffins
      As for your last question: No, Húsavík doesn't offer any diving or snorkeling with these animals. All encounters are boat-based.

      I actually work for the company Gentle Giants Whale Watching (www.gentlegiants.is). They're located in Húsavík, in the northeast of Iceland.

      The tours are following two (follow the links):
      For the oak boat: gentlegiants.is/tours-and-bookings/gg1-whale-watching
      For the speed boat: gentlegiants.is/tours-and-bookings/gg2-big-whale-safari-and-puffins
      The operator is Gentle Giants Whale Watching. The videos were taken between May and November 2017 from both types of boats (though the majority of the material is taken from the speed boats).
