Dyrafjordur is one of Iceland’s most scenic fjords. With the highest mountains of the Westfjords as a backdrop; the area is rich in flora, fauna, history and geological marvels.

The town of Thingeyri is one of the oldest settlements in the Westfjords, and where the regional Viking assembly (or “thing”) was held and the first trading post of the Westfjords was established.
The Haukadalur farmstead ahead of the town is the setting for many events in the Gisli saga, a classic outlaw saga from the 9th and 10th centuries.

We start our tour from Thingeyri and drive to Haukadalur to meet Elfar and Marsibil who tell us about the history of the area. We then go down to the shore and start kayaking along the Dyrafjordur coastline back to Thingeyri. On the way, we usually see seals and a variety of birdlife.

Once we are back in Thingeyri, we have some refreshments in the Viking hut.
