Walk Grímsey's wind-sculpted cliffs with the island's most celebrated local guide, Halla of Arctic Trip, for an intimate encounter with Iceland's largest accessible puffin colony and the Arctic Circle stone.
What to expect
Halla meets you the moment you step ashore and leads you along dramatic basalt cliff paths where Atlantic puffins, Arctic terns, and guillemots nest within arm's reach. You'll stand on the exact line of the Arctic Circle, receive your official diploma, and hear first-hand stories of life at 66°N. The pace is leisurely, with plenty of time for photography and genuine conversation with a true islander.
Good to know
Tours run year-round and are timed to meet the ferry Sæfari on arrival. If your ship anchors directly at Grímsey, confirm tender timing with the operator. Diplomas are included for tour guests. Bring wind-proof layers and sturdy shoes — the cliff paths can be blustery even in summer.
