Eastfjords RIB Safari: Seabirds, Seals & Sea Cliffs

Blast through the glassy Berufjörður fjord on a high-speed RIB, sea spray in your face, as colonies of seabirds wheel overhead and seals eye you from wave-washed skerries. Strictly small-group, this is East Iceland's most exhilarating water-borne perspective.

What to expect

Suited up in a full dry-suit provided by the operator, you board the RIB at Djúpivogur's small harbour and power out into the fjord. The guide brings you alongside towering basalt columns where guillemots, razorbills, and kittiwakes nest in their thousands just metres above your head. The boat slows to a whisper near seal haul-out rocks, allowing extended observation before the exhilarating high-speed return leg across open water with mountain views all around.
