Itinerary
The tour begins with a visit to the quiet village of Hjalteyri on the shores of Eyjafjordur. The site retains strong ties to the herring industry that once drove the economy of this coastline, and your guide shares local tales tied to the village's past.
The route continues to Dalvik, an active fishing port nestled between the fjord and the mountains. This stop offers excellent photography conditions with the harbour, boats, and surrounding peaks forming a striking scene.
A drive through the mountain brings you to the next fjord, descending to the black sand beach at Olfusfjordur village. The contrast between the dark shoreline, clear water, and mountain walls makes this one of the most visually distinctive stops on the route.
Siglufjordur is the northernmost town in Iceland and the filming location for the internationally acclaimed TV series Trapped. The compact, colourful townscape is set dramatically at the head of a narrow fjord surrounded by steep peaks.
The final stop is Kaldi Microbrewery, where a guided tour of the facility explains the brewing process behind one of Iceland's most respected craft beer labels. Guests have the opportunity to sample specialty beers before the return journey.
