Puffins and the Arctic Coastline, Troll Peninsula and Drangey Island (seasonal tour)

There are no places in North Iceland better to visit if you want to get up close to the famous puffins. The Birdlife on the island is incredible and we are literary walking amongst the puffins on our short hike up on the top of the island. The view up there is breathtaking, overlooking Skagafjörður Fjord and out to the Arctic Ocean. The Toll Peninsula is scenic to say the least with it's black sand beaches and charming fishing villages. Relaxing and enjoying the amazing view in the eternity pool at Hofsós village is a welcome break after sailing to Drangay Island and having lunch at a local restaurant. This is a true experience of the north, do it with locals!

We leave Akureyri at 8 am and on our drive to Sauðárkrókur town we enjoy short photostops admiring the mountain range of the Troll Peninsula. From Sauðárkrókur we sail to Drangey Island, the home of the puffins where we enjoy a short hike around the island with a local guide. The Drangay tour takes about 4 hours so a lunch break at a local restaurant is welcomed when we arrive back to Sauðárkrókur Town. After our lunch break we drive to Glaumbær Turfhouse Farm Museum, where we spend an hour or so getting an insight to the farmlife as it was in the last centuries. Next we drive to a near by village called Hofsós to soak in the geothermal infinity pool for an hour or so. The drive from the pool to Hofsós takes us around the the most northern part of the Troll Peninsula as we leave Skagafjordur Fjord. Siglufjordur is the town furthest north on the peninsula and there we walk around town and have a coffee break. On our drive to Akureyri we stop at a black sand beach and a charming fishing village or two.
