Vigur Island tour from Isafjordur Cruise Ship Port

Please be ready at the pier 30 minutes before departure. The boat ride to the island takes 30 minutes.

The 3-hour tour starts as we depart from Ísafjörður and after a half an hour boat ride we get to the shore of the island.

Upon arrival, a guided walk is led around the island. It is a perfect opportunity to see the abundance of birds in their natural environment. The island is a home for thousands of birds e.g. eider ducks, arctic terns, puffins & black guillemots during spring and summer. Most of the birds fly off to their winter homes around mid-august

The island family will serve homemade refreshments in an old mid-19th-century cow house which has been restored into a beautiful and welcoming reception area — the perfect way to complete your visit before your boat ride to Ísafjörður.

Vigur is a privately owned island, which means that the owners have the final say in how many guests they can welcome at a given time. As the island is small in size, there are limitations on the number of visitors that can be sent there. This is because having too many people on the island can spoil the experience for guests.

Additionally, the boats used to transport guests to Vigur are also utilized for other purposes, such as boating plans in Hornstrandir and other organized trips. As a result, it is not always possible to find a boat that is available at the exact time that suits the passengers of the cruise ship.

If you plan to travel with a group of more than 10 people, please contact us at booking@iceland-highlights.com and provide us with the following information: the date of your intended visit, your requested departure time, the total number of passengers in your group, the name of your cruise ship, and a contact phone number. We will do our best to accommodate your group, but please keep in mind that there are limits to the number of visitors allowed on the island at any given time.

Unfortunately, this tour is not suitable for the physically disabled nor for people using wheelchairs as the tour includes a walk on uneven paths.
