Ísafjördur & the Önundafjördur

Scenic Fjord Vistas and Quaint Icelandic Town Visit the coastal village of Flateyri and view the golden sands and dunes of Holt Beach. Meet your guide and embark on a scenic drive along the picturesque Önundafjördur. Arrive at Holt Beach and pause for photos of the sweeping bay, with its remote beach, tranquil waters and mountains that form a protective circle around the fjord. The grassland area is a breeding ground for eider ducks, who nest here during the early summer months. Visit the village of Flateyri and take a stroll around its harbor. This small town has a long history dating back to the 9th century; it was once a major fishing and trading center, and many of the historic buildings here reflect this legacy. En route back to your ship, you will stop at a viewing point for photos of the beautiful vistas over the fjord. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
