The sailing boat
Haukur offers a unique opportunity to experience the spirit of
time past. The boat heads first for Lundey (Puffin Island) one
of Iceland’s largest puffin colonies. Then, weather permitting,
we cut the engines, up the sails and go off looking for whales
the traditional way. An excellent adventure tour that combines
whale watching, bird watching and sailing on Iceland’s only
schooner.
Haukur was built in Reykjavik in 1973 and was one of two very
special boats constructed in the shipyard “John at Eleven”. For
many years the boat fished from the Western Fjords of Iceland.
It begun its whale-watching career in the summer of 1997. After
five productive summers the boat was taken into dry dock in Húsavík and converted into a two mast sailing ship, similar to
the fishing schooners which were common on the northern coasts
of Iceland in the late 19th century. |
