A mesmerising mix of mountains, fjords, waterfalls and wildlife, the East Fjords of Iceland are scattered with idyllic fishing villages, while routes north and south connect you easily to Icelandic icons like the glacial lagoon and Myvatn’s volcanic wonders. Perfect for ‘slow travel’, an East Fjords holiday offers an authentic Icelandic experience, a chance to meet the locals and discover a less-visited side of the country.
Our holidays taking in the East Fjords include self-drives and small group tours and not only provide immersion in the kind of Iceland everyone dreams of, but they also introduce you to a quieter, less visited side of the country.
It’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it. I’m here to turn that trip into an adventure you’ll cherish.
