A glorious panoramic drive takes you along Isafjörður -- the largest fjord in Iceland -- for fantastic views of the stunning Westfjords region and some great photo opportunities. In this coastal setting, you may be lucky enough to spot some friendly seals lollygagging about in their natural habitat.
You're headed to the small Litlibær turf farm -- an opportunity to learn how Icelandic farmers lived in the early 1900s -- often a struggle in this harsh environment. Look inside the preserved farm buildings, churn fresh cream into butter, and then taste it on traditional Icelandic flatbread. Explore the farm and enjoy refreshments of coffee with an Icelandic waffle and homemade jam.
On your way back to Ísafjörður, stop by the Hvítanes seal-watching platform. You'll also find ruins of the old fishermen's huts dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Pause at Kambnes Viewpoint for a 360º view of the mountains in Isafjörður -- the longest fjord in Iceland.
Notes:
Wildlife sightings are likely but not guaranteed. Tour requires a walk of approximately one mile. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, inclines, gravel, grass, and steps. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wear sturdy non-skid walking shoes. Due to Ísafjörður's remoteness and the scarcity of professional guides, all guiding is handled by locals; some are not professional, but all have great experience in guiding and extensive knowledge of the area. Parents traveling with children under the age of 3 must rent a child's car seat from the tour operator; please see the Shore Excursions team on board. You cannot use your child's car seat from home in Iceland.
