Leave Seyðisfjörður's harbor by boat and head down the large and beautiful Seyðisfjörður fjord. You'll be surrounded by snowy mountains and gorgeous waterfalls.
Your destination is Skálanesbjarg -- a magnificent cliff, 810 feet tall. It is absolutely brilliant to look at the cliffs from this perspective. Watch for the rich and diverse birdlife that nests among the nooks and crannies on the sheer face. During high season, the fjord and the cliffs are home to about 47 different bird species, including guillemot, fulmars, puffins and many more.
And what better way to embrace this wonderful natural environment, and finish your tour, than with some sightseeing on the fjord? On your way back to Seyðisfjörður, keep an eye out for hungry seals prowling these fish-laden waters.
Notes:
Tour operates rain or shine but may be canceled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. It is essential that you wear warm, layered clothing in order to fully enjoy and participate in this excursion. Outer layer should be waterproof and windproof. Bring gloves, a warm hat and a scarf. Take care when stepping onto the boat, as the flooring can be slippery. Wildlife sightings are likely but not guaranteed. Many birds start migrating away around mid-August.
