Arctic Fox Center & Isafjordur Bay Shore Excursion

This private shore excursion departs directly from the Isafjordur cruise pier and explores Isafjardardjup, the fjord system that forms the heart of Iceland's Westfjords peninsula.

After meeting your guide at the pier, you drive along the winding shoreline of Isafjordur Bay, stopping first at the Kambsnes viewpoint for an overview of the fjord and surrounding mountains. The route continues to Hvitanes, where a resident seal colony can often be seen resting along the rocks. A short distance further is Litlibaer, a turf house built in 1895 and now restored as a small museum, where you can walk among the ruins of the surrounding croft or stop for waffles and tea in the traditional Icelandic style (not included).

On the way back toward Isafjordur, you can stop at the Arctic Fox Center, housed in the historic Eyrardalsbae farmhouse in the nearby village of Sudavik. The center is dedicated to the Arctic fox, Iceland's only native land mammal, and its outdoor enclosure often has fox cubs visible to visitors (admission not included).

The tour returns to the pier in Isafjordur at the end of the visit.
