Whale Watching on the hybrid-electric sailboat Opal
When in Húsavík, reduce your carbon footprint and immerse yourself in the beauty of Skjálfandi Bay on board the silent electric Opal. We minimize disturbance to nature and wildlife, enhancing the experience of passengers.
Go hybrid-electric
Opal is the only hybrid-electric sailboat in Iceland offering whale watching tours that run on green electricity and glide silently amongst the whales.
Listen to the blow
A breathtaking aspect of the experience is listening to the whales – humpbacks and blue whales are incredibly powerful and can be heard from great distances. Imagine that excitement onboard when waiting to hear the first blow!
We had a lot of fun, and really appreciated the quietness of the electric boat. I really recommend it! We saw whales and that was fantastic. The staff did a great job of keeping us informed and entertained
