Itinerario
Hafnarhólmi es un pequeño islote junto al puerto del pequeño pueblo pesquero, Borgarfjordur-Eystri. Este afloramiento rocoso es el hogar de una de las colonias de frailecillos altanticos más grandes del mundo. Cada verano, las parejas que anidan regresan aquí para criar sus pufflings. Hafnarhólmi, es muy accesible, lo que permite a todos tener una visión de cerca de esta maravillosa especie.
Durante su visita al pintoresco pueblo de Bakkagerði en Borgarfjordur-Eystri, se puede encontrar este ejemplo prístino de la casa de césped islandés clásico. Las gruesas paredes de césped y el techo cubierto de hierba proporcionaban un aislamiento esencial contra los elementos en tiempos pasados. Muchos islandeses continuaron viviendo en casas como esta a principios del siglo XX.
Para aquellos que deseen hacer una caminata fácil mientras están en el pueblo de Bakkagerði se puede caminar Alfaborg, o roca elfa, que es un monumento en una colina con vistas a Borgarfjordur-Eystri. Esta parada se celebró para ser el hogar de la reina elfa de Islandia. Más información sobre el folclore y las creencias islandesas. Incluso si no tienes mucho stock de cuentos folclóricos, no puedes evitar admirar las espectaculares vistas que puedes disfrutar desde este mirador de la ladera.
Gufufoss es una pequeña cascada que cae en cascada suavemente por un acantilado escarpado. Debido a su apariencia, a veces se compara con su primo mayor en el sur, Skógafoss. Las cataratas desprenden una suave niebla, que da cuenta de su nombre - Gufu significa vapores en islandés.

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.
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!
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.
Saga our guide made the tour special with her never ending tales of Iceland fantasies and culture and everything in-between. The puffin birds were so close you could almost touch them. The waterfall also was spectacular.
Great tour. Saw lots of puffins. Saga is an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend.
