4.9/5 ⭐Google 600+ Reviews | A+ Better Business Bureau

Overview
Berufjörður (Beru-fjoer-thur) is a long, deep, and tranquil fjord located in the breathtaking Eastfjords region of Iceland. While not a major bustling port, it is increasingly becoming a sought-after scenic cruising area and occasional tender stop for expedition, small-ship, and luxury cruises exploring Iceland's dramatic coastline. The fjord is characterized by its steep, majestic mountains that plunge directly into the sea, forming a landscape of awe-inspiring beauty and quiet solitude.
A visit to Berufjörður offers cruise passengers an authentic glimpse into rural Icelandic life, far from the more touristy Golden Circle. Visitors can marvel at the stunning geological formations, potentially visit small fishing villages like Djúpivogur, and immerse themselves in the serene atmosphere of one of Iceland's most pristine regions. It's an ideal stop for those seeking untouched nature, picturesque landscapes, and a deeper connection with Iceland's unique culture and geology.
The primary experience in Berufjörður is the scenic cruise through its stunning waters. Stand on deck and marvel at the towering mountains, often with snow-capped peaks even in summer, that line the fjord. The tranquil waters reflect the dramatic landscape, creating unforgettable photographic opportunities.
Tip: Dress in layers, as the weather can change quickly. Have your camera ready for continuous breathtaking views.
Depending on your itinerary, your ship may anchor near or tender to the charming fishing village of Djúpivogur, located at the head of Berufjörður. Explore its colorful harbor, visit the local artisan shops, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere of a traditional Icelandic community
Tip: Look for the "Eggin í Gleðivík" (The Eggs of Merry Bay) art installation near the harbor, featuring 34 large granite eggs representing local bird species.
The Eastfjords are renowned for their unique geology. From Berufjörður, you can admire the ancient basaltic rock formations, remnants of past volcanic activity and glacial carving. These geological features tell the story of Iceland's fiery and icy past.
Tip: Onboard naturalists will often provide lectures explaining the geological processes that shaped this incredible landscape.
Berufjörður offers endless opportunities for landscape photography. Capture the interplay of light and shadow on the mountains, the reflections in the calm fjord waters, and the stark beauty of the untouched Icelandic wilderness.
Tip: Pay attention to the unique light of the Arctic summer, which can create long, beautiful golden hours.
Keep an eye out for seabirds nesting on the cliffs, such as puffins (though less common in fjords), kittiwakes, and gulls. If lucky, you might spot seals in the water or even various whale species that sometimes frequent the fjord's mouth.
Tip: Binoculars are highly recommended for spotting distant wildlife.
More than specific attractions, a visit to Berufjörður is about experiencing the profound serenity and quietude of rural Iceland. The vast, unpopulated landscapes offer a sense of peace and isolation, a stark contrast to more bustling urban environments.
Tip: Take a moment to simply breathe in the clean air and appreciate the immense scale of nature around you.
