About this experience

Discover one of Iceland’s most dramatic coastal landscapes on a private tour from Djúpivogur to Stokksnes and Vestrahorn.

This tour is designed for travellers who want a scenic, personal and relaxed experience without joining a large group. From Djúpivogur, we travel south through quiet Eastfjords landscapes, with mountains, coastline and selected photo stops along the way.

The main highlight is Stokksnes, where the striking Vestrahorn mountain rises above black sand dunes and the Atlantic coastline. When conditions are right, the area offers beautiful reflections, wide open views and excellent photography opportunities.

Admission to the Stokksnes / Vestrahorn area is included in the tour price.

Your local guide will adjust the pace and stops based on weather, light, timing and your interests. This is a private experience, ideal for cruise passengers, photographers, couples and small groups looking for a memorable East Iceland shore excursion from Djúpivogur.

Meals and drinks are not included unless stated otherwise.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 2 days before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1East Highlanders decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 2 days before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Who this is not for

  • Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.
