Activities

You will start your excursion with a drive through the city center along the narrow coastal road to the small town of Bolungarvik, where a stop will allow you to explore its church. The next visit will take you to Osvor, a restored old fisherman's house from... see+ 1988. This former shelter for fishing boats is a life-size illustration of the extremely difficult life of Icelandic fishermen until the 20th century.

The village of Bolungarvik is nestled in a spectacular bay surrounded by mountains. The fjord that bathes the town, Isafjardardjup or "Djup," is the largest fjord on Iceland's eastern coast. You will follow its deep waters back to Isafjördur via the Tungudalur valley, with a pause to take in the beautiful scenery of the valley.

Upon your return, you will pass through the historic old town with its 17th-century buildings before visiting the maritime museum. This museum is located in one of the oldest houses in Iceland, a monument in itself, alongside three other renovated buildings dating back to 1780.

At the end of your visit, you will be offered a typically Icelandic tasting. You will discover local specialties such as schnapps, dried fish, and canned fish prepared the Icelandic way.

Finally, you will board your coach to return to your ship. For this moderately difficult excursion, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes, warm waterproof clothing, and protecting yourself from the sun. Please note that the order of visits may be reversed.

Reservations open approximately 2 months before departure and up to 7 days before the start of the cruise, subject to availability.
 
Included
From the dock, board your local coach for a short trip through a mountain tunnel and across the Westfjords mountains to the fjords of Dýrafjörður and Önundarfjörður. Breathtaking views of spectacular landscapes sculpted by glaciers centuries ago.
Your... see+ first stop is the Skrúður Botanical Garden, a jewel of cultivated plants contrasting with the raw subarctic landscape. This botanical garden was the first of its kind in Iceland, founded by a pioneer grower in 1909. Enjoy a guided exploration of the garden.
Then continue to the village of Flateyri and discover local history and culture. The village is nestled in the magnificent Önundarfjörður fjord. Enjoy a live music performance at the charming village church, followed by a short stroll along the main street and along the harbor. Stop for a coffee break with locally made refreshments. Next to the café, you can visit the old bookshop or enjoy the view of the harbor.
Finally, rejoin your coach for your return transfer. This tour involves walking about 2 km over rough terrain, gravel and grass. We recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes and a windproof jacket.
Pre-bookings open approximately 2 months before departure and up to 7 days before the start of the cruise, subject to availability.
 
Included
Sea kayaking is not only a healthy and fulfilling way to have a great time, but it's also an excellent way to get to know and come very close to Icelandic nature. So, grab your paddles and prepare for a grand adventure.

The area around the town of... see+ Isafjördur is one of the best places in Iceland for kayaking, and the Westfjords have earned a strong reputation as an attractive kayaking center, offering both easy, beginner-friendly routes and challenging ones for professionals. With its many attractions, this location offers endless kayaking opportunities in accessible bays and fjords, all while giving the impression of being at the edge of the world.

This excursion is a peaceful paddle on the fjord, ideal for those seeking an introduction to sea kayaking. Kayaking in the heart of the mountains is an unforgettable adventure. Birdwatchers love this sport, as it provides a unique and subtle way to observe bird life from a different angle. While paddling at the feet of the stunning mountains towering over the area around Isafjördur, travelers experience the closeness of nature and the beauty of the landscape from an exciting perspective and in a safe environment.

From the dock, a 15-minute walk will take you to the starting point. You'll begin with a short lesson in paddle handling, then launch your boats from behind the maritime museum. You’ll set off on a circular route through the heart of the fjord, observing various bird and seal species along the way.

Participants in this excursion must be in good physical condition, able to swim, and capable of carrying their kayak a short distance to the launch point. The excursion includes a 30-minute round-trip walk to where the kayaks are stored. We recommend bringing warm, waterproof shoes and clothing, along with a change of clothes. The kayaks are single-seat vessels, and all equipment and life jackets are provided. The excursion's schedule is subject to weather conditions, and it will be led by an English-speaking guide only.

Pre-bookings open about 2 months before departure and are available up to 7 days before the cruise begins, subject to availability.
