Eyjafjörður is not only a haven for whales and dolphins - it also boasts some of Iceland's richest and most varied birdlife. Each season paints a new picture, with migratory species arriving to breed, feed, or rest during their journeys across the North Atlantic.

Summer brings a spectacular display of seabirds gathering on cliffs, skerries, and shorelines, while winter cloaks the fjord in a quieter but no less beautiful array of hardy resident species.

Birdwatching in Eyjafjörður is a year-round experience. Whether you’re spotting puffins flying low over the water or catching sight of a diving loon in winter, there's always something to observe.

The birds we can expect to see on our tours, from vibrant summer visitors to tough winter dwellers are Atlantic Puffin, Common Eider Duck, Arctic Tern, Great Cormorant, Northern Gannet, Common Guillemot, Northern Fulmar, Iceland Gull, Glaucous Gull, Herring Gull, Arctic Skua, Razorbill, Long-tailed Duck, Greylag Goose.
