Discover the winter wonderland of Iceland's Eastfjords region on this three-hour snowshoeing tour departing from Seydisfjordur. This hiking adventure is perfect for adventurers keen on conquering the snowy landscapes of the area with breathtaking coastal and mountain scenery.

This tour in Iceland begins as you meet your guide in Seydisfjordur, a beautiful coastal town in East Iceland. Seydisfjordur is known for its beautiful surrounding fjord, steep mountains, colorful wooden houses, and rich cultural heritage.

The guide will be your primary source of information and assistance for the next three hours. They will keep you safe and entertained as they expertly know the hiking trail your group will traverse, including trivia about its features and hidden gems.

On your part in making the experience as comfortable as possible, make sure to dress in warm layers, a weatherproof jacket, and a sturdy pair of hiking boots. A small backpack is also recommended for extras like water, snacks, and extra clothing.

Setting off from Seydisfjordur, the tour winds through the snowy terrain outside the town center. The exact route may vary depending on the prevailing snow conditions, with potential destinations including the Vestdalur valley or the Stafdalur area.

Vestdalur is a beautiful nature reserve crisscrossed by shallow rivers and lava rocks on a vast valley. One of its most fascinating features is a series of small waterfalls partially frozen in winter. During this cold season, the area is mainly covered in powdery snow.

Stafdalur, on the other hand, is a mountainous area with a skiing station. The easy slopes of Stafdalur offer excellent terrain for snowshoeing, hiking, and skiing activities. Here, you can also gain panoramic views of the snowy peaks all the way to the Seydisfjordur fjord.

Regardless of where you'll explore outside the town, this excursion offers a fantastic opportunity to experience the magic of Iceland's winter scenery in a safe and guided environment. 

Whether you're a seasoned hiker or new to snowshoeing, the breathtaking winter scenery of East Iceland will excite you. With each step, you'll be treated to remarkable views of the landscapes surrounding Seydisfjordur, partially or totally blanketed in pristine white snow, depending on the weather. 

Keep your eyes peeled for signs of local wildlife, as the area is known to be home to reindeer and Arctic foxes. With some luck, you may even spot fresh tracks left behind by these elusive creatures, adding an extra layer of exhilarating experience to your adventure.

After playing in the snow for a few hours, you'll hike back to Seydisfjordur with your guide, where this three-hour tour ends.
