Located in Sauðárkrókur, Iceland, Drangey Tours offers a unique experience combining birdwatching, sailing, hiking and personalized service. Visitors can hike up to the top of the island, along the cliffs, and get up close and personal with puffins resting just a few meters from the trail. During the hike, tour guides tell the ancient stories of Grettir the Strong, a Viking who lived in exile on the island, as well as more recent accounts of the exploitation of the island's resources. The tour is suitable for groups and individuals of all ages, and lasts around 4 hours. For those who don't wish to hike to the top of the island, it's possible to stay on the boat or head to the small port of Drangey to enjoy the surrounding natural scenery. Drangey is a birdwatcher's paradise, home to thousands of seabirds including puffins, guillemots, gannets, kittiwakes, sooty shearwaters, petrels and ravens. The island, a 180-metre-high palagonite cliff, offers a magnificent view of the entire fjord.
