About Eyjafjörður
Eyjafjörður forms the heart of central North Iceland. Akureyri sits near its head while communities including Hjalteyri, Hauganes and Dalvík line its shores. Hrísey lies within the fjord and the surrounding waters are particularly well known for marine wildlife.
Our practical tips
✓Treat Eyjafjörður as a region to explore rather than simply the road into Akureyri.
✓The western and eastern shores offer very different views of the fjord.
