Discover Djupivogur, Iceland

Puffin Watching. Glacial Lagoons.

Nestled between the two fjords, Hamarsfjörður and Berufjörður, you’ll find the remote little town of Djúpivogur. Captivating as it is quaint, this humble fishing village is home to breathtaking scenery that moves from gently sweeping beaches to jagged cliffs and Búlandstindur, the iconic pyramid-shaped mountain. In contrast to the high-energy hustle and bustle of modern life, Djúpivogur encourages a slower, more contemplative way of living. Savour incredible seafood, have drinks with locals, and shop traditional handicrafts you can’t find anywhere else in the world. While the town of Djúpivogur might be small, there’s no doubt it will make a big impression on your next Northern Europe adventure.
