Last Saturday was the final day of a 9 month long whale watching season in Húsasvík. Both Gentle Giants and North Sailing departed for their 30th and final tour of November, but as a consequence of especially good weather in November, whale watching has been available every single day. According to the recent update of Gentle Giants November 2019 was a month to remember. The bay was really active, with passengers gazing at as many as 30 humpback whales in the same tour as well as other species!
The Húsavík Whale Museum enjoyed a visit of over 31 thousand guests this season, a similar number of guests as in 2018. The museum was open every day from April 1st to October 31st. From November 1st and until March 31st the opening hours will be 10-16 on weekdays.
The museum's employees are currently doing typical winter projects in maintenance, collection cataloguing, exhibition updates etc. etc.
