Highlights: Puffins, the mystical island Drangey,
boat trip, nature bath, scenic waterfalls and canyons.

 

Seize the opportunity to go with us to a unique puffin island, explore great canyons and waterfalls.

​

On this tour we will take you to the next fjord to the west Skagafjörður where we will start by driving to Sauðárkrókur, there a boat will be waiting for us to take you out to Drangey a fantastic troll island full of puffins, guillemots, outlaw stories and mythical creatures. You will have to climb a narrow path to reach the top of the 180m high cliff island, there you will be shown around by a local guide which will tell you all you want to know about the island and the puffins. After an enjoyable visit to the island the boat will take you for a sail around the island before returning to the mainland, take a good look around during the sail since there is a big chance of spotting whales on the way.
When you arrive back to the main land you can choose between taking a bath in a nature pool right at the sea side or to stop at the old turf farm Glaumbær on the way back towards Akureyri. We will also stop for a short hike up along the canyon Bólugil and enjoy the beautiful scenic 7 step waterfall in it. From there we will drive back to Akureyri.
