The Puffin Hike

Stórhöfði is the southernmost point of Heimaey island and home to one of the biggest puffin colonies in the world.

It’s one of my favourite places to hike, not only because of the diverse birdlife but also because of the amazing view.

Welcoming a New Family Member

Back with Tours Soon!

Thank you for your interest in my tours! I'm currently taking a short break as I'm welcoming a new baby in May. Since I run the company on my own, I won’t be offering any tours during May and June so I can focus on this special time.

I’m hoping to be back offering tours starting in July. If you're planning to visit later this summer or beyond, feel free to get in touch to discuss availability or ask any questions.

Thank you for your understanding and support – I look forward to showing you around my beautiful hometown soon!

Warm regards,
Björk
