If you’d prefer to keep your feet on solid ground while still experiencing the best of East Iceland, join us for a day trip from Seyðisfjörður to the famous Puffin Capital .

We’ll drive you over the mountain pass to Borgarfjörður Eystri , where you’ll visit the best puffin viewing spot in Iceland. You can walk along the safe wooden platforms at the harbor, getting you incredibly close to the nesting Atlantic Puffins. After your walk, we’ll head to a local restaurant for lunch to enjoy the food and culture of our remote village before heading back.

The Highlights:

  • Easy Viewing: You'll see the puffins up close from the wooden platforms built on top of the colony.
  • Local Icelandic Lunch: A seated meal at a local favorite, included in your tour.
  • A Scenic Journey: Relax and enjoy the mountain views while we handle the driving.
