Eastfjords Hotels & Stays

East

A quieter corner of Iceland with deep fjords, tiny fishing villages and scenic mountain roads.

What Eastfjords is known for

Deep fjords, tiny fishing villages, winding mountain roads and some of the quietest scenery in Iceland. Puffin colonies and reindeer in the east.

Top things to do

  • Drive the dramatic Öxi mountain road or the coastal Route 92
  • Visit Seyðisfjörður for the rainbow street and arts scene
  • Hike to Hengifoss, Iceland's third-highest waterfall
  • Watch puffins at Borgarfjörður eystri in summer
  • Spot wild reindeer on the highland edges in winter

How to get there

Drive the Ring Road from Höfn to Egilsstaðir, then turn south into the fjords. The roads are paved but narrow and steep in places. A car is essential.

How long to stay

Two to four nights. One night rushes the main road; two or three let you hike, kayak and visit the smaller villages.

When to visit

Summer is best for open roads, puffins and hiking. Winter is beautiful but some mountain roads close and daylight is short.

Where to stay

Egilsstaðir is the largest town and a practical base. Seyðisfjörður and Borgarfjörður eystri have small guesthouses with character.
