Husavik is the oldest settlement in Iceland, besides being the largest town in Thingeyjarsysla district and the service centre for the surrounding area.
The Museum House at Husavik, as the inhabitants of the district call their cultural centre, houses part of the South Thingeyjarsysla District Museum, a maritime museum, Natural History Museum, folk museum, district archives, photograph archives, and an art gallery. And of course we must not forget that Husavik is also home to The Whale Museum and The Icelandic Phallological Museum.
Cultural life in and around the town is flourishing, the active and enthusiastic drama society being among the best amateur theatre groups in Iceland. And, as there are a number of choirs and instrumental groups playing an active role in the field of music, Husavik can offer inhabitants and visitors alike a wide variety of concerts, performed by musicians both from home and further afield.
There are two whale watching companies to choose from in Husavik, and a sail through the ocean waves in pursuit of these wonderful creatures is an experience no one should miss and will certainly never be forgotten.
Other attractions on offer are a beautiful botanical garden, a camping site, a golf course and many pleasant walks to suit all abilities.
