We are booked on June 15 cruise and just got an email from Tauck announcing that Vigur Island option scheduled for day 6 has been discontinued. They say "we have recently made the decision to no longer offer the shore excursion to Vigur Island by ferry due to evolving considerations regarding logistics for docking and local sustainability restrictions as a protected natural bird habitat."
In its place they are offing a new excursion option: "a scenic, panoramic drive through the Westfjords to Dynjandi Waterfall, widely regarded as one of Iceland’s most striking natural sights. Often called the “jewel of the Westfjords,” Dynjandi fans out across the mountainside in a series of dramatic cascades, offering exceptional photo opportunities and a memorable encounter with Iceland’s raw beauty.
"Following your time at the waterfall, your drive continues through a picturesque valley to a traditional Westfjords farm, where you’ll gain insight into rural Icelandic life. You’ll meet the resident animals—such as sheep, chickens, ducks, and rabbits—and learn about the family’s agricultural traditions. The visit concludes with an Icelandic tasting featuring locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the family’s own mushroom operation, thoughtfully prepared and shared in a warm, welcoming setting."
I know the Vigur Island trip has received generally good reviews, but we were wondering if we were up to it. The new option sounds like a good one for us.
