Húsavík Whale Museum runs whale watching, city tours in North Iceland, starting from Húsavík. We book them directly, so what you see here is their own availability and their own cancellation policy — at the same price you'd pay them.
“The Húsavík Whale Museum is one of Europe’s leading whale museums, dedicated to educating visitors about whales, marine ecosystems, and the relationship between humans and the ocean. Located in Húsavík, the whale capital of Iceland, the museum features impressive whale skeletons, interactive exhibitions, and engaging displays that inspire awareness, conservation, and appreciation of marine life.”

All of the above is computed from Húsavík Whale Museum's own 1 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.
From the operator's own Bókun vendor record. The year is when the company's registration number was issued, which is the closest thing to a founding date that can be checked at skatturinn.is; the brand may be older or younger than the company. Their own site: whalemuseum.is — same price there as here.
Google reviews of Húsavík Whale Museum as a company — not of one specific tour.
A really awesome, fascinating and informative museum - perfect to visit before a whale watching tour. You can easily spend two or more hours here: a collection of impressive whale skeltetons (including a blue whale), a lot of information about whales and some interesting videofilms.

We arrived 30 minutes before closing. Not enough time to truly learn about the whaling business that was so vital to the people's survival here. There are a couple videos showing the magnificent creatures in one, and the unabashed processing (ie slaughtering) in the other. It's not for the squeamish. The massive skeletons from wash-up whales (not hunted), are impressive.

A nice museum to learn more about these beautiful creatures 🐳! Short and sweet but has many real skeletons of whales including a blue whale which is amazing! Just to see the scale!

Truly a great museum. Despite its small size, we spent two hours in here - the first time I have actually read all the information on display in a museum! There are several sections, covering the evolution of cetaceans, the history of whales in Iceland, and plenty of other interesting information. There are also full sized skeletons of various whale species on display, ethically collected and preserved. Price was around £15 per person, but I would recommend it - worth the money!

No. We sell Húsavík Whale Museum's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.
None of the 1 Húsavík Whale Museum tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Húsavík.
Their departures we sell start from Húsavík. Check the map on each tour page for the exact meeting point.
Their tours are guided in English, German, French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Chinese and Dutch, according to their own product records. Where a tour is audio-guided rather than led by a person, the tour page says so.
4.6 out of 5 on Google from 1650 reviews of the company. That is the operator's score, not a rating of any one tour; our own guests' reviews of their tours, where we have them, are shown on this page and on the tour pages.
