Description
The boat trip in the Steingrímsfjörður starts with sailing around of the island of Grímsey. On the island you can see colonies of Alcă atlantică, Cormoran moțat, Alcă nordică and Pescăruș cu trei degete as well as thousands of Pufin flying overhead. Also good chance to see Fulmar, Alcă cu oglindă, Eider, Chiră polară, Cufundar mare and Cufundar mic. On a guided walk you can hike up to the lighthouse. With an estimated breeding colony of around 60,000 Pufin, 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.
