Visit Borgarfjörður Eystri, one of the best places in Iceland to observe puffins up close during the nesting season. From specially designed viewing platforms, you can watch these unique seabirds just a few meters away in their natural habitat, without disturbing them. Surrounded by dramatic coastal scenery, this is one of the most memorable wildlife experiences in East Iceland.

Visit Álfaborg, known as the “Elf Rock” and believed in Icelandic folklore to be the home of the Elf Queen. Enjoy a short walk through the peaceful village of Borgarfjörður Eystri, where you’ll see a traditional turf house, a small local church, and a scenic swing overlooking the fjord - a perfect spot for photos. A charming stop that combines nature, culture, and local legends.
