Watching the giants of the ocean is one of the world’s most popular wildlife activities. In an article published today by Telegraph, Húsavík is selected as one of the top 10 whale watching destinations around the world.

This is what Telegraph had to say about Iceland:

“Whale watching is one of those things that has a broad-based appeal, luring visitors of every age and stripe to a wide variety of locations worldwide. Something to do with the visceral impact of seeing and hearing these majestic creatures at close quarters and, perhaps, the added fun – usually – of having to board a boat to do so. Here are 10 of the best whale-watching sites worldwide, along with details of how to organise a trip to your chosen site.

ICELAND
North-east Iceland offers whale-watching trips on beautifully restored fishing vessels. Minke whales and white-beaked dolphins are regularly seen and occasionally humpback and blue whales. Also worth a visit is Husavik's fascinating Whale Museum, located by the port. The first of its kind in Iceland, it has interpretive displays on the cetacean species found around Iceland, along with whale skeletons and other exhibits.”
