Full description
Step off your cruise ship and into an unforgettable Icelandic adventure. This private 6-hour tour from Seyðisfjörður takes you deep into the dramatic Eastfjords landscape to witness the surreal beauty of Stuðlagil Canyon—famed for its towering basalt columns and glacial-blue river.
Departing directly from the cruise terminal, you'll journey with a local guide across scenic highland roads to reach one of the country's most visually arresting and lesser-known natural wonders. Along the way, enjoy tales of Iceland’s geology, folklore, and how this once-hidden canyon was only recently revealed by changing river flows from a hydroelectric dam.
A short walk at the canyon brings you to a safe panoramic view for photos and quiet appreciation of this geological marvel. Time permitting, we may also stop at Rjúkandi Waterfall or the historic Möðrudalur Farm for refreshments and local charm.

The guide was lovely, she told us about city’s history as well. It was very expensive for what it was and the group was large. I’d pay that for a private tour and include more dishes.
