The Unique Adventure is a nature & bird watching tour on Breidafjordur Bay. We sail around the numerous islands, explore strangely shaped cliffs and navigate powerful tidal currents. The islands on the bay are teeming with birds and we will get to see puffins, eider ducks, kittiwakes, shags, black guillemots, fulmars and, if we are lucky, the majestic white-tailed eagle. The highlight of the tour is when a small net-plough is cast overboard and shellfish delicacies are brought on board. Everyone gets the chance to taste the delicious shellfish and sea-urchin roes. Seafood simply doesn't come any fresher than this!
