Day 5

Scenic Cruising Seydisfjordur

Arrival: 00:00 - Departure: 00:00

Sailing on a cruise to Seyðisfjörður, east Iceland, you'll feel surrounded by snow-capped mountains, waterfalld streams, and emerald-green valleys. Even on cloudy days, the colorful buildings of the city of Seyðisfjörður jut above the 17 km (10.5 mi) fjord. Most of the houses are prefabricated in wood and were imported from Norway more than 100 years ago, giving the city a timeless atmosphere. Today, the 700 inhabitants of Seyðisfjörð keep it fashionable thanks to art and culture, especially in summer, when ferries arrive with visitors from Denmark and the Faroe Islands. Following the Fjarðará River and its two dozen waterfalls into the mountains along trails and gravel roads, there is a mountain pass that connects Seyðisfjörð with the rest of Iceland. With a height of 1000 m (3280 ft), Bjólfur and Strandartindur are the most imposing fjords among the seven surrounding Seyðisfjörð. Skálanes, a nature and research reserve east of the city, is home to 47 species of birds, including common woodlands, Arctic swallows and Europe's largest falcon. When you're there, you might also see puffins hatching, seals resting on volcanic beaches, and sheep grazing the fjord.

Day 8

reykjavik, iceland

Arrival: 07:00

Reykjavik is not your typical capital city, it has no magnificent buildings, or a historic city centre or grand monuments, this city is much more than that. Iceland’s capital is different, full of life and very close to nature. Its location, at the fringe of the Atlantic Ocean, between two fjords and surrounded by a lunar volcanic framework, makes the city, which name literally means Bay of Smokes, incomparably special. The world’s northernmost capital is the perfect place for outdoor and wildlife lovers. Surrounded by sea, whale watching is one of the most popular touristic activities. The city has plenty of open spaces: parks, pedestrian areas, a lake situated next to the city hall and Nauthólsvik geothermal beach just 15 min away from the city centre. Throughout the city there are 7 municipal geothermal pools where locals go to socialize and relax after work. Other activities like cycling, hiking, horse riding, sailing and fishing can all be enjoyed on the doorsteps of the capital. Aside from all its natural wonders, Reykjavik has always something to offer. It is a cosmopolitan and dynamic city full of museums, art galleries and cosy coffee shops. Its nightlife is exciting and outrageous, during a night out, it seems locals are making up for the prohibition on beer that was in force till 1989 and nightspots tend to stay open until the early hours of the morning. During the day, the capital is a much more relaxed place, with its trim colourful houses, rubbish-free streets and an easygoing pace of life. Reykjavik is considered the one of the cleanest, greenest and safest cities in the world. Getting lost in this city is almost impossible: Hallgrímskirkja church and Öskjuhlíð hill are visible from most places in the city centre and are essential landmarks for orientation. Reykjavik is dynamic, creative, modern, cosy and very special. Its peculiar personality and magnetic surroundings will make you agree that there’s no better city in the world.
