Frequently asked questions
About Húsavík
Húsavík is a picturesque town located on the north coast of Iceland, known for its stunning whale watching opportunities. The currency used in Iceland is the Icelandic Króna (ISK). The town is surrounded by beautiful mountains and is a popular spot for bird watching enthusiasts. Húsavík is also home to the Húsavík Whale Museum, showcasing the history of whale hunting in the region. Visitors can enjoy fresh seafood at local restaurants and explore the charming streets lined with colorful houses.
When to visit
The best time to visit Húsavík is during the summer months from June to August when the weather is mild and the days are long. This is also the peak season for whale watching tours. However, if you want to see the Northern Lights, the winter months from September to March are ideal. Just be prepared for colder temperatures and shorter days.
Getting around
Húsavík is a small town that can easily be explored on foot. However, if you want to venture further out, renting a car is the most convenient option. There are also local buses that connect Húsavík to other towns in the region. Taxis are available for shorter trips within the town.
Traveller tips
Don't forget to pack layers as the weather in Iceland can be unpredictable. Make sure to book your whale watching tour in advance, especially during the peak season. Try the local delicacy, hákarl (fermented shark), if you're feeling adventurous. Take a stroll along the harbor at midnight to experience the midnight sun. Visit the GeoSea geothermal sea baths for a relaxing soak with stunning ocean views.
