Salka whale watching began their whale watching season on May 1st. Currently all of the four whale watching companies have started their 2019 season. This is Salka Whale Watching's seventh season. In Salka's first years they operated one oak boat but added another one in 2017.
For this occasion the Húsavík Whale Museum's manager Eva Björk Káradóttir visited the ticket office of Salka (which by the way also serves as an ice cream shop during the summer time) to give away flowers and a drawing by Rena Ortega. The gifts were accepted by Salka's employee Loes De Heus.

Sailboats started their whale watching season yesterday, May 1st. With that, all the whale watching companies in Húsvísk have started working this year.
This is the seventh year that Sölkusiglingar offers whale watching at Skjálfand. In the first years, the company had one oak boat in use, but in 2017 the second boat was added. On the occasion of this turning point, the employees of the Whale Museum took a bouquet of flowers to the ticket office of Sölkisigli, which also runs an ice cream shop during the summer. It was an employee of Sölkisigli Loes de Heus who received the bouquet from the hands of Eva Bjarkar Káradóttir, the director of the Whale Museum.
