Lonsvik Bay holidays

Make a detour into the Bay of Lonsvik, or ‘lagoon bay’, and you’ll come face-to-face with one of Iceland’s most bewitching sights: Vatnajökull - Europe's largest glacier. Lonsvik is an immense lagoon, fed by meltwater from the glacier, and lies in the shadow of two vast grey rock promontories. In summer, hundreds of young swans flock to its rocky nooks, making it a fantastic place for bird watching. Those booking Lonsvik Bay holidays will be bedding down in the charming fishing port of Höfn, and it’s from here you can also organise trips to Hvalnes, a rocky headland where you can spot seals frolicking in the ocean as well as to the beautiful hiking trails in Skaftafell and Vatnajökull. Head out on hikes across the glacier, and even hop aboard a helicopter to soar over Iceland’s vast wilderness – you won’t forget your Lonsvik Bay holiday in a hurry. Read more
