Iceland has been described as an unbelievably beautiful and unique place, where the great opposites of fire and ice meet. It is a country which offers unspoiled wilderness, jagged coastlines, vast rugged mountains, hot spring areas with spouting geysers and towering glaciers, including Europe's largest icecap, Vatnajokull. During your visit to Iceland this is the scenery we’ll take you through as we go around with our spotting scopes, bins and cameras.

Gavia Travel is a travel agency established by a group of Icelandic birders and nature enthusiasts, with the aim of showing our guests Iceland's unspoiled countryside and wildlife as we see it. On all of our tours we focus on showing you places we believe you shouldn't miss. We'll show you the wildlife in the area, and we'll make sure you get great opportunities for photography.

BIRDWATCHING TOURS

Gavia Travel works as ground operator for Travel Agencies and Tour operators as well as organizations and individuals taking care of everything for the group after it lands in Iceland until it leaves again.

We have worked with a variety of foreign Birdwatching tour operators, Travel Agents, Organizations and Local Birdwatching Communities from all over the world.

"When Gavia Travel was founded by a couple of Icelandic birders, the aim was to start a full-time birdwatching travel agency, which was to be first of its kind in Iceland. Soon though we realized from the feedback we got from our clients that there was not only a need for a full-time Birdwatching agency in Iceland, but also a Wildlife Watching one with pre-organized and scheduled Nature and Wildlife tours. Therefore Gavia Travel evolved into being a more general Nature and Wildlife agency than entirely a birdwatching outfit. However, we are still birders by heart, and if there is something we do better than anyone, it is to organize how, where and when to watch birds in Iceland!"

- Hrafn Svavarsson founder of Gavia Travel
