Seydisfjordur

Getting ashore

Ships call at the small harbour in Seyðisfjörður, a town at the head of a long fjord in East Iceland.

Fjord weather changes quickly, and roads may close in winter. Check excursion times.

The town has the Blue Church, colourful wooden houses and a small art scene.

Trails follow the valley and waterfalls, with views of the fjord and mountains.

Icelandic fish, lamb and skyr are common. Cafés and craft shops are in the centre.

The currency is the króna. Cards are accepted almost everywhere.

The town is flat along the harbour, but fjord trails are steep. Ask your operator for accessible options.
