Neskaupstaður: Nature Tour by RIB Boat
Experience Eastfjords on an exciting RIB boat tour! We cruise through beautiful fjords and visit colorful Rauðubjörg, the majestic cliffs of Nípan, the enchanting Páskahellir cave, and the peaceful Hellisfjörður. A fantastic way to explore nature!
Join us on an unforgettable journey where dramatic landscapes, living stories, and the power of the ocean come together in one thrilling experience. Departing from the pier in the heart of Neskaupstaður, your guide welcomes you aboard a fast and stable RIB boat. From the first moment, you are embraced by the scent of salt in the air, the rush of the sea breeze, and views that take your breath away.
With insightful narration from a local guide, we cruise through the fjord, each stop revealing deeper layers of Iceland's history - both natural and human. Our first destination is Páskahellir, a sea cave carved by waves and time. Step inside (conditions allowing) and witness lava formations and ancient tree molds, while hearing legends woven into the rock itself.
We continue past Nípan, Iceland’s tallest sea cliff, towering dramatically from the ocean. Birdlife fills the skies - puffins, auks, gulls – and you become a quiet visitor to their world, as your guide shares the fascinating ecology and hidden stories of this remote corner of the country.
Then comes Rauðubjörg - cliffs so vivid in colour they seem unreal. Reddish rhyolite and elegantly curved basalt columns shimmer in the light, like nature’s own cathedral. We pause offshore to soak it all in, take photos, and simply be present with the land.
Our final stop is the peaceful Hellisfjörður, where silence reigns and history lingers in the remains of an old whaling station. Undisturbed and rich with life, the fjord invites reflection and a deep connection to nature’s quiet power.
On the return journey, we glide along the cliffs of Múli, where seabirds nest and the landscape bids us farewell with one last majestic display. The tour concludes at Beituskúrinn, where a drink is waiting to toast the experience.
