Where to stay in Húsavík

Húsavík sits on Skjálfandi bay in north Iceland, a town of painted wooden houses, a white church and some of the best whale watching in Europe. Humpbacks and blue whales feed offshore in summer, and the harbor has the museum, restaurants and boat tours within a few minutes' walk.

Where to stay

Stays in the town are modest. Bryggjan Boutique Hotel is the clearest boutique choice, and larger hotels such as Fosshotel Húsavík serve those wanting more facilities. Farmstays and guesthouses in the surrounding countryside offer more peace.

Good to know

Húsavík is the gateway to Ásbyrgi canyon, Dettifoss and the Diamond Circle. Whale tours run most of the year, but peak season is May to September. The GeoSea baths above the harbor are a good evening stop.
