Uncover the breathtaking beauty of Borgarfjörður Eystri, a remote treasure in East Iceland where dramatic landscapes, rich culture, and incredible wildlife come together. This guided tour promises an unforgettable experience, from close encounters with puffins to wandering through a charming coastal village framed by towering fjords and rugged mountains. If you’re searching for the best puffin tour in Iceland, this is the perfect adventure.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Seyðisfjörður to Borgarfjörður Eystri, home to one of Iceland’s top puffin-watching spots. The highlight of this tour is Hafnarhólmi, a stunning rocky islet where thousands of puffins nest each summer. With easily accessible viewing platforms, this is a paradise for bird lovers and photographers, offering rare opportunities to observe these adorable seabirds in their natural habitat.

Stroll through the picturesque village, where colorful houses contrast against Iceland’s wild, untouched nature. Immerse yourself in the country’s rich history with a visit to Lindarbakki Turf House, a beautifully preserved example of traditional Icelandic architecture. Then, step into Icelandic folklore at Álfaborg, the legendary “Elf Rock,” believed to be the dwelling of the elf queen. This mystical hilltop provides not only a cultural experience but also panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes.

Pause for a cozy break at a beloved local café, where you can enjoy warm refreshments while taking in stunning views of the mountains and sea. As the tour winds down, a final stop at the majestic Gufufoss Waterfall offers a moment of tranquility, with the soothing sounds of cascading water creating the perfect end to your adventure.
