Seyðisfjörður shore excursions

Seyðisfjörður is one of the most beautiful small towns in Iceland, at the end of a long, narrow fjord in the East. Ships dock right in the village, steps away from the famous rainbow-painted street that leads to the blue church. From here the road climbs over the Fjarðarheiði mountain pass to Egilsstaðir and on to Hengifoss, Lake Lagarfljót and the Stuðlagil basalt canyon.
