@LAKE MÝVATN

BEST fish&chips EVERRRR !!!!

I have tried many fish&chips places in Reykjavík and abroad but this one in Mývatn, omg, I need to buy another portion straight away or even just move to Mývatn because this was mouthwatering, deliciously good.

So delicious after nature bath

This place is so cute, convenient (right next to grocery and gas) and perfect teaser for right after a day of driving, hiking, bathing, exploring in Iceland. Food was delicious and portions can be tailored to whatever you desire.

WHAT WILL YOU ENCOUNTER ON YOUR TOUR?

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to see whales?

There is no time of the day when we are more likely to encounter whales. Nature is unpredictable and no two tours are the same – every trip is a new adventure.

Are whales seen on all tours?

Our whale watching tours take place in wild nature, which is very unpredictable. The chances of seeing whales are very high, but sightings cannot be guaranteed. If no whales (dolphins included) are seen on the tour, passengers are welcome to join a GG1 Whale Watching tour free of charge, depending on availability. Passengers can get a voucher for a free GG1 Whale Watching tour that is valid for the passengers of the original booking. The voucher is valid on tours where availability and bookings in advance cannot be made. The voucher is valid unlimited. We do not refund tickets if no whales (dolphins included) are seen on the tour.

Do I need to book in advance?

It is always a good idea to book the tours well in advance so that you have a secure place on the departure you want, especially during high season June-August.

How do I book a tour?

The easiest way to book a tour is on our website, www.gentlegiants.is, where you can choose if you want to pay online or pay on arrival. It is also possible to send an e-mail to info@gentlegiants.is or call +354 464 1500. Visit our Ticket Center in Húsavík – look for the big blue flags.
