Join us on this journey to Borgarfjörður Eystri's puffin colonies, featuring stunning mountain passes, local cuisine, and the breathtaking Gufufoss Waterfall.

Description

At the indicated time, we’ll meet at Seyðisfjörður Harbour to embark on a journey to the puffin colonies of Borgarfjörður Eystri. The adventure begins with a scenic drive through East Iceland, traversing 2 mountain passes with views of the North Atlantic Ocean and the Icelandic landscape.

Our first stop will be at a viewpoint offering views of the North Iceland mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean, ideal for capturing Iceland’s natural wonders.

Upon reaching Borgarfjörður Eystri, we’ll visit the puffin colonies, where you can observe these seabirds up close. Our guide will provide insights about the puffins and the area's ecosystem.

Next, we’ll explore Álfaborg and Lindarbakki, known as the Elves' city. Discover the legends and folklore of this enchanting area. We’ll then allow time for lunch, offering a chance to immerse in local culinary traditions.

Our journey continues to the Gufufoss Waterfall, a highlight of the Seyðisfjörður Valley and featured in “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”. After 5 hours of scenery, wildlife, and culture, we’ll return to Seyðisfjörður Harbour. See you next time!
