Visit East Iceland

Awe-inspiring fjords, quaint fishing villages, and breathtaking landscapes

Our East Iceland Tours are Your Gateway to Adventure

Welcome to East Iceland! While this part of our country may not be as famous as others, it certainly shouldn’t be overlooked! The landscapes here are truly remarkable and home to some of the best views in Iceland.

Just two highlights include the phenomenal Stuðlagil Canyon, with its basalt columns and turquoise water, and the extraordinary Vök baths.

Stunning waterfalls, towering mountains, dramatic coastlines, and grand fjords are also waiting for you here — and you can meet reindeer and puffins too!

This part of our country is also famous for its charming, colorful towns developed around the fishing industry, so it’s a great place to get to know Icelandic culture and history.

Don’t forget to relax in the fabulous geothermal hot springs of Vök Baths and enjoy the picturesque fjord views!

Relatively few tourists travel here, so East Iceland offers a unique opportunity to relax and disconnect from everyday life in spectacular surroundings.

If you have any questions about visiting East Iceland, please get in touch.
