The Grapevine's take
Whale Watching in Húsavík
“We’ve been much more successful with whale watching here than in Reykjavík,” one panellist said. “Sometimes if you’re lucky you can even spot seals on the shore.” Video-camera in hand, hop on a boat in Húsavík and look for these majestic sea creatures with a crew that knows what it’s doing. Just sit down, lean back, and keep watching the waves.
