Mens du besøger den maleriske landsby Bakkagerði i Borgarfjordur-Eystri, kan du finde dette uberørte eksempel på det klassiske islandske græsplænehus. Den tykke græsplæne vægge, og græs belagt tag leverede væsentlig isolering mod elementer i tidligere tider. Mange islandere fortsatte med at bo i sådanne huse ind i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede.
For dem, der ønsker at gøre en nem vandretur, mens i landsbyen Bakkagerði kunne vandre Alfaborg, eller elf rock, som er et monument på en bakke med udsigt over Borgarfjordur-Eystri.

Selv hvis man ikke har masser af folkefortællinger, kan man ikke lade være med at beundre den dramatiske udsigt, man kan nyde fra denne bakke.
Gufufoss er et lille vandfald, der kaskaderes forsigtigt ned ad en hård klippe. På grund af sit udseende er det nogle gange sammenlignet med sin større fætter i syd, Skógafoss. Faldene kaster en blid tåge, hvilket forklarer dens navn - Gufu betyder dampe på islandsk.

This was an excellent tour. However, beyond the tour operator control is the exact time of the Puffin migration in August. Check the Puffin availability for the time you book. We had a terrific tour and saw many Puffins up close despite being near the end of the season. We would book it again. Tour guide and bus driver were terrific.
Loved seeing so much of Iceland, such beauty. Was thrilled with the Puffins. As a favor to our tour guide I will omit rating her.
Saga was a very good guide. She offered us to change tours since it was at the end of puffin season and said we may not see many. Glad we stayed as there were hundreds of puffins that were very close to photograph.
The tour was fascinating; we saw a great many puffins and other seabirds. Our guide Saga gave us great information (with a personal touch) about the country and its people 👍. The stop at the elf town or the peat house could have been 10 to 15 minutes longer. The visit to Gufufoss finally rounded off the trip. It was one of the best tours we have taken in Iceland.
Great experience and our tour guide was awesome She was a local girl, very knowledgeable and truly loved what she was doing.
Our guide Saga and driver Arthur did an outstanding job showing us just how beautiful Eastern Iceland really is! We were so lucky to have a lovely day (weather wise), we got to see the puffins (100’s and unusual to see that many this late in August as many fledgelings have left the nest already) , and got to taste a wonderful Icelandic twisted donut and cup of coffee as a bonus! The scenery was just awe inspiring; mountains, waterfalls, free range sheep. The whole tour was just not to be missed. I’m so glad I found it. Booking was easy. Our tickets arrived in email, no problem. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
This was an amazing tour for me. I have always wanted to see the puffins and I was not disappointed. There were so many there on the day of my tour and they were so cute. The weather was great that day- no rain!
In every aspect this was a trip of a lifetime!! The gorgeous scenery, the wonderful tour guide—who even sang Icelandic songs to us—the cultural immersion, and of course the puffins, was once in a lifetime. I could not believe how close we got to the puffins! Only inches away and multiple platforms to see them from. This was truly spectacular and anyone should consider it. Puffins are there April to August, so keep that in mind. Oh, and don’t forget the dozens of waterfalls we saw and visited. Just wonderful!
Very nice experience with the puffins; the waterfall was okay but not spectacular. Long travel time through the interior of the country.
Great trip, reasonably priced. Saga was awesome. Would recommend. Puffin sanctuary, and waterfall. The lighting for photography at the waterfall is better in the morning, but the lot was full so we had to do it on the evening. Otherwise, great trip.
