Wildlife of Vigur Island | Kayaking in the Westfjords
Day tours

Wildlife of Vigur Island | Kayaking in the Westfjords

Witness the wildlife of Vigur Island on this kayaking tour through the Westfjords. If you want to see seals, puffins, other seabirds and perhaps even a whale or dolphin while exposing yourself to stunning nature, this is the tour for you. The excursion begins when you meet your guides and group at a cafe in Ísafjörður. Once you are all gathered, you’ll be driven forty minutes through beautiful nature to where your kayaks are waiting, at Eyri in Seyðisfjörður fjord. After getting comfortable, your guide will lead you out into the water. You will first paddle out to the headland Folafótur. En route, you’ll keep a keen eye out for seals; the Westfjords have a high population of these adorable animals, and they are often as curious about you as you are of them. If you are lucky, you might even see a whale or dolphin; humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoises and even blue whales and orcas are all occasional visitors here. At Folafótur, you will disembark, and have a pre-prepared picnic on the beach, to recharge and appreciate the nature. Once you’re ready, you’ll set out into the waters once again, this time to head to Vigur Island. This is the second biggest island in Ísafjarðardjúp, the bay outside Ísafjörður, and home to a wealth of seabirds throughout summer. These include eider ducks, guillemots, razorbills and, of course, puffins. You will stop on the island to surround yourself with them, perfect for a photo opportunity, especially considering the lack of fear puffins have around people. This lack of fear is especially the case on Vigur, as for generations, the farmers here have collected down from the puffins' nests in exchange for protecting them against predators. After enjoying your time here, you’ll return to your kayaks. En route back to Ísafjörður, you’ll hug the coastline where many seals will be hauling out in a colony. Paddle through incredible nature to see a wealth of wildlife in the Westfjords. Check availability by choosing a date.

Throughout the five days, you will witness a wealth of natural attractions ranging from rugged coastlines to cascading waterfalls.  Notable stops include Europe's westernmost tip, the incredible Látrabjarg cliffs, where thousands of puffins reside during the nesting season in May to July, as well as Rauðasandur red sand beach, the beautiful Dynjandi waterfall, the historic town of Ísafjörður and the tiny bird island Vigur. Your accommodation and transportation along the way will be prearranged in country hotels and guesthouses equipped with en-suite bathrooms, with breakfast included. For the four nights that you'll stay in the Westfjords, you will be treated every evening to a delicious, locally prepared, two-course meal which is included in the price. Hurry now so as not to miss your chance exploring the beautiful Westfjords over this fantastic 5-day tour. Check availability by choosing a date.
