Description
Embark on a shore excursion from Seydisfjordur and travel through serene East Iceland. See Stuðlagil Canyon, with its astounding basalt column cliffs, and the Gufufoss waterfall.
Upon disembarkation in Seyðisfjörður, meet your local guide, ensuring the tour fits perfectly within your cruise's docking window. Venture inland through idyllic countryside to visit the iconic Stuðlagil canyon, a symbol of the natural beauty of East Iceland.
Marvel at the sheer walls composed of enormous basalt columns up to 30m high, overlooking the dream-like turquoise waters of the glacial river at the canyon, hidden in the middle of the Jökla River.
Then, head back east toward your port, stopping at Gufufoss waterfall, a hidden gem that resembles the more famous southern falls at Skógafoss. Though smaller, Gufufoss stands impressively at 27m in height. Enjoy the tranquil surroundings and click photos from various angles.
Finally, return to Seyðisfjörður, where you will be dropped back at your ship. If time allows, explore the famous Rainbow Road before boarding your ship.
