Sail and Explore from the Westfjords to the Arctic Circle and Eyjafjord.

We start in the Westfjords, which are the most uninhabited part of Iceland and many parts are only accessible by boat. Tucked in under the cliffs this is a perfect place to begin your sailing holiday. We spend the first few days exploring this wilderness area before continuing further east.

Watch the sun at midnight as it dips just below the horizon giving us 24 hours of daylight on this passage.

After the wilderness of the west we head east and explore some of the many small towns and villages along the north coast, these towns becoming larger the further east we go. Our destination is Akureyri, the second largest city in Iceland.

Before we head south down this fjord, we make an offshore passage to the island of Grimsey and visit the Arctic Circle. There is the opportunity to see whales throughout the whole of this passage so we are always on the lookout for them.

Finally after visiting the tiny island of Hrisey in Eyjafjord we arrive in Akureyri where we sample café culture and nightlife of a big city and contrast it with the tranquillity of the uninhabited regions. Enquire...
