North Iceland | Whale Watching at Sea

🐂 7:30 Farm Visit – Vogafjós Farm Resort The guesthouse’s farm opens early for visitors—step into the cowshed to observe automated milking, meet the calves, and even try hand-milking! 🐳 12:00 Whale Watching in Húsavík ~1-hour drive. After checkout, we soaked in Mývatn’s landscapes en route to Húsavík, Iceland’s whale-watching capital. Pro tip: Opt for a speedboat safari—traditional wooden boats rely on luck, while speedboats zip you straight to the whales! Húsavík itself is postcard-perfect: colorful harbors, photogenic streets. Leave extra time to explore this charming town. ❤️ 17:00 Akureyri – The "Heart of the North" ~1-hour drive. Heads up: This stretch includes Iceland’s only toll tunnel—pay online to avoid fines! Strolled past whimsical knit-covered trash bins (each uniquely dressed!) in the compact downtown. Grabbed groceries before heading out. 🌊 21:00 Oceanfront Stay – Salthús Guesthouse ~2.5-hour drive. Just in time for another epic northern lights show—the sky danced with green waves! #Akureyri#Húsavík#Mývatn# Whale Watching#Iceland
