Sailing around Breiðafjörður's innumerable islands, the ever-so popular Viking sushi tour offers a glimpse of the fjord's fairytale-like scenery: variegated rock faces, areas of historical interest, along with the strongest ocean currents anywhere on Iceland's coasts.
During the summer, the area abounds with birdlife: shags, puffins, black-legged kittiwakes, arctic terns, fulmars and eider ducks. Even the king of Icelandic birds, the white-tailed eagle, sometimes makes an appearance.
Breiðafjörður Bay is a haven for bird enthusiasts, with countless seabirds nesting on the cliffs and skerries. From graceful Arctic terns to majestic sea eagles, the sky comes alive with the sights and sounds of avian life, offering endless opportunities for observation and photography.
One of the highlights of the tour is the towing of the dredge along the ocean floor, when different kinds of shellfish are scooped up from the bottom of the ocean: scallops, sea urchins, crabs, starfish, some of which can be eaten fresh (scallops and sea urchins, for example).
Please notice: We are offer only a taste of these fresh scallops it is not a lunch, dinner or buffet.

Great birdlife, views of the islands and mountains, amazing shellfish straight from the sea!
We searched our whole trip for puffins on cliffs to no avail so we caved and bought expensive tickets to the Viking Sushi boat tour but it was worth every penny. It was very chilly day so…
