Vigur Island Views

Relax and soak up the views during a gentle boat ride to Vigur Island, a tiny green spot in the deep-blue waters of the Ísafjarðardjúp fjord. Enjoy a warm welcome as you step ashore and meet the local farmer and his family – the only people who call this place home.

As you stroll around, your hosts will tell you about life in this remote setting and you’ll see traditional farming relics including Iceland’s last remaining windmill. The family carefully protect the wildlife they share the island with, including puffins, eider ducks and Arctic terns – all of which you’re likely to encounter. You might spot seals in the water or on the shore too, so be sure to have your camera ready.

Round off this fascinating and peaceful experience with a hot drink and a delicious homemade Icelandic cake in the 19th-century farmhouse.
