Iceland's scenery is unlike anyplace else, and the small village of Djúpivogur is surrounded by mountains, glaciers, lava formations, moss-covered cliffs and deep valleys. This outing offers an introduction to this stunning visual feast. It starts at
the pier and is ideal for those interested in nature, local culture and history, and learning about the bird life in the area.
Walk with your guide to the Bondavarda cache. This is an age-old pile of rocks, similar to a cairn that people carefully assembled to guide others during tha short stop will be made to purchase souvenirs. e cold, dark winters. Bondavarda offers a fantastic view of the village and surrounding area. Within this vista is Bulandstindur Mountain — a pyramid of basaltic strata counted as one of the mystical power centers of this intriguing country.
Take in the lovely view; then, your local guide will lead you down to Breidivogur and Fyluvogur — two small lakes. Here, you'll find a hut used by bird watchers as a blind.
Continue into town, where a short stop will be made to purchase souvenirs.
Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
Bird sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. The birds start migrating away around mid-August. Please realistically assess your physical fitness and ability before booking, as the walk is uphill, over unpaved, rough walking tracks with many steps. Not advisable for guests with mobility limitations. Wear sturdy walking shoes. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Tour operates rain or shine, but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Minimum age is 8 years.
