SEASON START IN TWO WEEKS

Our 18th season is just around the corner. Daily whale watching tours on board Sylvía will start from Húsavík on 1st March 2019 – earlier than ever before. We are super excited to begin the season so early and head out on Skjálfandi Bay again with whale watchers in search of the giants of the ocean.

GG AT MANNAMÓT TOURISM WORKSHOP

Yesterday was a very social day for Gentle Giants when we attended the Natural Icelandic Tourism Workshop Mannamót. The name means "people coming together" and suits well for this event where more than 250 tourism companies from all over Iceland gather to present their businesses.
