What East Iceland is known for
The eastern side of Iceland: wide fjords, reindeer, forested valleys and the quiet stretch of the Ring Road between Höfn and Egilsstaðir.
Top things to do
- Drive the winding coastal roads of the Eastfjords
- Look for wild reindeer on the highland edges
- Hike in the Hallormsstaðaskógur forest near Egilsstaðir
- Visit the tiny villages and harbours along the fjords
- Photograph the dramatic mountain reflections in the fjords
How to get there
Drive the Ring Road from Höfn or Egilsstaðir. There is no airport in the immediate area; the closest is Egilsstaðir.
How long to stay
One to two nights as part of a Ring Road drive, or longer if you want to explore the smaller fjords and hiking trails.
When to visit
Summer for open roads, hiking and the midnight sun. Winter is quiet but some roads close and daylight is short.
Where to stay
Egilsstaðir is the main base. Smaller guesthouses dot the fjords for those who want to slow down.
