Full description

Step off your cruise ship and into an unforgettable Icelandic adventure. This private 6-hour tour from Seyðisfjörður takes you deep into the dramatic Eastfjords landscape to witness the surreal beauty of Stuðlagil Canyon—famed for its towering basalt columns and glacial-blue river.

Departing directly from the cruise terminal, you'll journey with a local guide across scenic highland roads to reach one of the country's most visually arresting and lesser-known natural wonders. Along the way, enjoy tales of Iceland’s geology, folklore, and how this once-hidden canyon was only recently revealed by changing river flows from a hydroelectric dam.

A short walk at the canyon brings you to a safe panoramic view for photos and quiet appreciation of this geological marvel. Time permitting, we may also stop at Rjúkandi Waterfall or the historic Möðrudalur Farm for refreshments and local charm.

My wife, adult daughter and I booked this tour with “Your Friend in Reykjavik” through Viator the during the afternoon we arrived in Iceland. Our tour guide, Cristin, was excellent. She met the group at the designated meeting location ahead of schedule. She was very friendly and informative about everything Reykjavik. Iceland is a fascinating place with so much history, and she did a great job of bringing it to life. We would definitely recommend this tour and guide to anyone new to the city.

Ester E was our guide today on our Iceland Women walking tour and the group LOVED her and the tour. We enjoyed hanging out for conversation after the walking portion as well. I would highly recommend doing a tour with Ester E!
