The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Soar over the spectacular North Iceland fjords and land on Grímsey — the only Icelandic territory that straddles the Arctic Circle. Step off the plane and onto one of the world's most dramatic geographical thresholds.
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.
Don a dry suit and slip beneath the surface of the Arctic Ocean off Grímsey — one of the most extreme and exhilarating snorkeling experiences on earth, guided by Arctic Trip's certified local instructors.
Tee off on Grímsey's legendary 9-hole course — one of the world's most remote and dramatic golf experiences — with fairways perched on sea cliffs and the midnight sun blazing overhead.
Circumnavigate Grímsey's volcanic sea-cliffs by Zodiac with Arctic Sea Tours, getting eye-level with nesting puffins, razorbills, and guillemots on sheer basalt columns rising straight from the Arctic Ocean.
Explore the full human story of Grímsey — Iceland's most remote inhabited island — on an expert-guided cultural walk through the fishing hamlet, 12th-century church, and edge-of-the-world lighthouse.
