Gavia Travel offers two kinds of pre-organized 6 day birding-tours. These are the "Birding in the North" tour and the "Birding in the West" tour both leaving from Reykjavik.

These tours focus on different areas of Iceland allowing us plenty of time to explore each area thoroughly and are organized back-to-back, so if you would like to take more than one tour at a time you can book them together, and change your tour to a 12-day tour.

The "Birding in the North" tour takes us around northern Iceland enabling us to spend quality time around Myvatn (Midge Lake), an unbelievably picturesque geothermal area where we expect to see species such as Harlequin Duck, Barrow's Goldeneye, Gyr Falcon, divers and many more against a backdrop of bubbling mudpools and pseudocraters.

The "Birding in the West" tour gives us an opportunity to show you the great west of Iceland. On this tour we are in the kingdom of the White-tailed Eagle. Literally hundreds of thousands of seabirds inhabit the area around Breidafjördur. As we head west, all the way to the unbelievably vast seabird colonies perched at the westernmost point of Europe, we'll pass through remote countryside and see good numbers of birds on our way.
