View Cruise DealSeydisfjordur, a serene port town in the East Fjords of Iceland, serves as a delightful gateway to some of the most enchanting experiences Iceland has to offer.
Just a drive away from Seydisfjordur port lies one of Iceland’s highest and most striking waterfalls, Hengifoss. A hike to Hengifoss is not just a trek to a waterfall but a journey back in time. The layers of red clay sandwiched between the basaltic strata are a geologist’s dream and date back millions of years. The trail is about 2.5 kilometres one way and can be challenging, but it’s undeniably rewarding. En route, you will be treated to the sight of Litlanesfoss, framed by stunning basalt columns that are a testament to the volcanic history of the land. The sheer force of nature’s artistry on display is awe-inspiring and offers photographers and nature lovers alike a spectacle unlike any other.
Dive into the industrial past of Seydisfjordur by visiting the Technical Museum of East Iceland. This museum, unique in Iceland, is dedicated to the technology and mechanical advancements that have shaped modern life in the country. Exhibitions include communications, electricity and mechanics, with many items that you can touch and interact with. It's an engaging way to spend a few hours, especially for families and those with a penchant for tinkering or engineering. The museum is a celebration of human ingenuity and offers insight into how these technological advancements have enabled Icelanders to thrive in the challenging Nordic environment.
Immerse yourself in the cultural tapestry of Seydisfjordur with a leisurely stroll through its streets. Begin at the iconic Blue Church, known for its distinctive colour and cultural events, including summer concerts featuring local and international musicians. As you walk, admire the charming and colourful Nordic houses that line the streets, many of which have been carefully restored to preserve the town’s heritage. Stop by local galleries and boutiques that showcase the work of Icelandic artists and craftspeople, offering everything from hand-knitted sweaters to intricate jewellery. Don’t miss the Skaftfell Centre for Visual Art, which serves as a hub for contemporary art in the region and hosts exhibitions, workshops and a bistro with delicious local fare.
