Autumnal delight
The three places visited were beautiful, as was the surrounding countryside through which we travelled. Who knew you could have such lovely autumn colours in the absence of trees.
Studlagil Canyon & Waterfall Tour - From Seydisfjordur
Great day touring waterfalls and countryside! Our guide (Kyrstyn) was exceptional! Very knowledgeable and informative! She had a great grasp of the Iceland culture and history. We would highly recommend this tour!
A chance to see some beautiful Icelandic nature without 60 other tour busses.
A wonderful way to see beautiful Eastern Iceland on a port day. This tour met us at port & all 5 people on the nice large bus were from our boat. The drive was gorgeous & our guide Eva was very knowledgable about the area and very enthusiastic. It was wonderful to visit places that didn't feel overrun with tourists. We were the only bus at both waterfalls & there was maybe one other one at the canyon. One thing to note is there are a lot of stairs at the canyon & both waterfalls required a bit of hiking to get close, not long hikes, but some uphill & downhill. Because we had time, we were also able to stop at some turf houses on a farm. The tour was very conscious of getting us back to port on time & even arrived early enough that we could have a walk through town back to the boat.
Amazing Tour from Seyðisfjörður – Highly Recommended
It was a fantastic excursion! We were very lucky with the weather and had sunshine throughout the entire day. Our tour guide, Eva, was amazing — very friendly and knowledgeable. She shared lots of interesting stories and information about Icelandic culture and traditions, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was perfectly on time and very well organized from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seyðisfjörður from a cruise ship.
Great tour and well organised
Super excursion, awesome scenery and a great guide. Perfect for cruise - easy pick up point and timing fits well with spare to explore the town afterwards.
