The Majestic East Iceland Coastal Drive (5/6)

Embark on a breathtaking journey along Iceland’s eastern coast, where dramatic landscapes meet the wild North Atlantic. This scenic route will guide you through rolling green valleys, picturesque fishing villages, and rugged mountains draped with waterfalls. Begin your adventure near fjord-etched shores north of Djúpivogur, and trace your way past panoramic viewpoints overlooking the shimmering fjords and black sand beaches. Don’t miss the small harbors at Breiðdalsvík and the colorful houses of Stöðvarfjörður, where local art and geology museums await. Marvel at towering peaks like Búlandstindur, said to be one of Iceland’s most mystical mountains. Keep your camera ready for wild reindeer grazing and seabirds soaring above ocean vistas. With each bend in the winding road, stunning surprises reveal themselves—from lush mossy hills to the peaceful quietude of isolated coves. This drive is a feast for the senses and a must for anyone wanting to experience the untamed beauty of East Iceland.
