Private Tour from Djupivogur: The Eastfjords
A full-day private journey through the fjords, waterfalls, and coastal wonders of eastern Iceland.
This private Eastfjord tour from Djupivogur offers an unhurried exploration of one of Iceland's least-visited and most rewarding coastal regions. Guests are collected directly from the Port of Djupivogur and returned there at the end of the day.
The route moves through a landscape shaped by ancient glaciers and the North Atlantic, passing cliffs, inlets, and valleys that see relatively few visitors compared to Iceland's more popular circuits. The pace is relaxed and the stops are chosen to give guests genuine time to absorb each location.
From a striking Viking film set to the sculptural egg installation at Eggin i Gledivik, the day balances natural scenery with cultural curiosity. Numerous waterfalls appear along the coastal road, offering spontaneous stops throughout the journey.
Because the tour operates as a private departure, the experience can be tailored to the pace and interests of the group, making it suitable for a wide range of travelers seeking an authentic look at the Eastfjords.
Tour Highlights
Photo stop at Stokksnes, one of the most photographed coastal landscapes in eastern Iceland, with Vestrahorn mountain rising from the black sand shore.
Scenic drive over Almannaskard pass, offering broad views across the fjords and surrounding highland terrain.
Visit to two Viking village film set props used in movie productions, providing an unusual and engaging stop along the route.
Multiple waterfall sightings along the coastal road, including Sveinsstekksfoss, Folaldafoss, and Flögufoss, each set within rugged canyon and cliff scenery.
Stop at Eggin i Gledivik, a public art installation featuring 34 large stone eggs representing the bird species of Djupivogur, lining the edge of the harbour.
Continuous views of the eastern fjords, where narrow inlets cut deep between steep mountains along the shoreline.
Private departure means the group travels exclusively together, without joining other travelers, allowing for a more personal and flexible experience.
