Viðey island is a unique place that combines history, art and nature. It is only a few minutes away from Reykjavík by boat and is well known for its tranquillity and the spirit of bygone centuries. On the island you can enjoy all the unspoiled nature reigns which has a unique place in Icelandic history. Birdlife abounds on Viðey, while outstanding works of modern art also make their mark.

Elding offers a wide range of boat tours and sea related activities from Reykjavík and Akureyri, all year round.

A traditional sea angling tour from Reykjavik is a must do for first timers and experienced fishermen alike. Just breathing in the fresh ocean air, being out in on the open waters and reeling in the first catch of the day makes this an experience you’ll never forget. 

Over half the world’s puffin population comes to Iceland to breed - that's close to 10 million birds! Iceland also has the largest Atlantic Puffin colony in the world in the Westman Islands with about 700,000 nesting pairs. There are three puffin colonies close to Reykjavik, which we visit between mid May and August. They have roughly 30,000 pairs between them located on the islands of Akurey, Engey and Lundey.

Elding works with many great companies within the travel industry that align with our values of professionalism, sustainability and being environmentally friendly. This is to ensure the best experience possible for our customers. Our partners offer a wide range of activities from horse riding to snowmobile tours and everything in between.

The bright dancing lights of the northern lights are collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun that enter earth's atmosphere. For a good aurora borealis pursuit we need three things; solar activity, clear skies and darkness. The best conditions for northern lights hunting in Iceland is between September and April.
