Grundarfjordur: Boat Tour on Breidafjördur

The Snaefellsnes peninsula, with the Snaefellsjokull glacier rising majestically at its tip, is one of the most enchanting parts of Iceland. We start our tour with a drive to the picturesque fishing village of Stykkisholmur, where we board a boat trip on Breidafjordur Bay.

View Birds Nesting

On this tour we view characteristic rock formations, countless islands and skerries, and the rich local birdlife. Birds nesting and breeding in the cliffs can be observed from within a few yards. Species that may be spotted include puffins, cormorants, shags, Black guillemots, kittiwakes, fulmars, and several types of gull. Sometimes Whitetailed eagles- and even seals - can be seen. We then drop our fishing nets and trawl the bottom of the bay. When the net is reeled in, we sample the freshly caught shellfish and other seafood, including seaurchin roe, a local delicacy.
