Húsavík

Húsavík is a beautiful fishing town on the shores of Skjálfandi Bay. This charming town, known for its picturesque harbor, wooden boats moored at the dock, wooden houses along the coast, and a church dating back to 1907, will easily capture your heart.

Húsavík is sometimes referred to as the whale-watching capital, with several companies offering trips on various types of boats to observe these marine mammals. If you’re interested in whales from a more theoretical perspective, there is a whale museum in Húsavík.

Húsavík is located about 90 kilometers northeast of Akureyri and 55 kilometers north of Lake Mývatn.
