🌎 As some of Iceland’s most famous destinations deal with increasing visitor numbers, travellers are seeking quieter, off-the-beaten-track experiences.
✅ Stunning hikes, reindeer and puffin colonies
Despite the vastness of the Eastfjords, including almost 121 kilometres of coastline, from Borgarfjörður Eystri in the north to Berufjörður in the south, it is still one of the most sparsely populated regions in Iceland.
Forget bus tours and endless queues, here tourists have ample opportunities for slow and peaceful travel, as visitors craving solitude soak in the expansiveness.
Hike and kayak along some of Iceland’s most remote fjords such as Mjoifjordur and Leirufjörður, which also provide stunning photography opportunities, with rugged mountains, lush valleys and pristine waters.
Walkers can also explore the Eastfjords' other stunning hiking trails, such as the Hengifoss Waterfall and the Stórurð Boulder Fields or venture into Iceland’s largest forest, the Hallormsstaður Forest.
