Best Fjord Tours in Iceland
Iceland's 109 stunning fjords offer a unique and captivating experience for travelers. These U-shaped inlets, carved out by glacier tongues, are primarily clustered in the Eastfjords and Westfjords, with a few in the North and near Reykjavik. Fjords are not just geographical features; they are gateways to Iceland's natural wonders.
The best way to explore these Icelandic marvels is through fjord tours. A self-drive tour stands out as the top choice, allowing you to set your own pace and personalize your itinerary while navigating the ring road. This flexibility lets you immerse yourself in the diverse beauty of each fjord, from the inner, mountain-hemmed sea bottoms to the wider, open-mouthed bays.
These fjords, unique to Iceland, are not to be confused with their freshwater counterparts in Norway and New Zealand. The Icelandic fjords are all connected to the ocean, making them saltwater havens. As you journey through these fjords, you'll encounter stunning landscapes, with steep mountains, glaciers, and cascading waterfalls reflecting in the serene waters.
Iceland's fjord tours offer a range of scenery unparalleled by any other destination. While Norway's fjords are adorned with trees, Iceland's barren yet enchanting fjords boast moss-covered hillsides, vibrant grounds, and countless waterfalls.
Whether you opt for a guided tour or a self-drive adventure, these fjords will immerse you in Iceland's raw and untamed beauty, making your journey an unforgettable exploration of nature's wonders.
