Beschrijving
The boat trip in the Steingrímsfjörður starts with sailing around of the island of Grímsey. On the island you can see colonies of Alk, Kuifaalscholver, Zeekoet and Drieteenmeeuw as well as thousands of Papegaaiduiker flying overhead. Also good chance to see Noordse Stormvogel, Zwarte Zeekoet, Eider, Noordse Stern, IJsduiker and Roodkeelduiker. On a guided walk you can hike up to the lighthouse. With an estimated breeding colony of around 60,000 Papegaaiduiker, this is one of the few tours in Iceland where you actually get to walk the island and get a close look at the birds.
