Cruise into the golden hours of Iceland’s midnight sun on an Eastfjords RIB boat tour from Djupivogur. This 1.5-hour adventure is perfect for travelers who want the rare chance to witness the Icelandic summer’s endless glow from the water, surrounded by dramatic fjord landscapes and thriving wildlife.
This small-group tour is timed perfectly for the soft, dreamlike light of the midnight sun. The midnight sun is a phenomenon when the sun doesn’t fully set on the horizon during most days of the Icelandic summer, making it the perfect backdrop for evening adventures.
Your journey begins at Djupivogur, a charming fishing town known for its colorful houses, welcoming harbor, and laid-back pace of life. From here, you’ll meet your guide and step aboard a sturdy RIB (rigid inflatable boat), designed for both speed and stability.
The boat is the perfect vessel to navigate Djupivogur Fjord’s calm summer waters. Its agility allows your captain to approach cliffs, skerries, and wildlife-rich spots that larger boats can’t reach, giving you an up-close look at the Eastfjords’ raw beauty.
From the port, the boat navigates through Berufjordur, a fjord framed by rugged mountains and dotted with small islands. Berufjordur’s still waters catch the evening light, adding a warm, golden tone to the surrounding landscape.
Your local guide will lead you through the fjord’s quiet corners, where curious seals often rest on rocky outcrops, puffins and other seabirds skim across the water. On fortunate evenings, whales can be seen surfacing in the glow of the low sun.
As you travel deeper into the fjord, your guide will share stories of the region’s maritime history, the rhythms of life in Djupivogur, and the unique ecosystems that thrive under the Arctic’s extended daylight. If you have any questions, feel free to ask your guide.
Warm flotation suits and life jackets are provided, but it’s best to dress in layers with a hat, gloves, and sturdy footwear to stay comfortable in the cool evening air. Bring a camera or smartphone to capture the striking scenery, as well as sunglasses for the surprisingly bright late-night sun.
By the time you return to the harbor, the fjord will be bathed in soft light, leaving you with lasting memories of a magical Eastfjords summer night.
The peaceful pace of the midnight sun is unlike any other time of day in Iceland, offering a sense of calm and wonder as the light lingers far past the hour when darkness would normally fall.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see the breathtaking coastal wonders of Djupivogur and East Iceland under the glow of the summer nights. Check availability now by choosing a date.
