In 2027, we are delighted to welcome guests to Vigur from early April until late September.

Vigur is a family home and a privately-run nature reserve but from April until September you are invited to visit the island to experience the landscape and wildlife as well as the history and heritage of this special place on the edge of the Arctic.

All visits to Vigur directly contributes to the work of the Vigur Island Foundation for conservation and research - Thank you for your support!

As well as welcoming individual travelers, we are delighted to offer options for group bookings, private visits or longer stays, including the opportunity to have lunch or dinner on the island. We can provide custom experiences for special interest groups such as photographers, birders or windmill enthusiasts! Please use the button below to contact us about making a booking.

For visits directly to the island by expedition ships or small cruise ships using tenders or zodiacs to bring guests ashore, please use the button below to contact us for dedicated information and pricing.

Visiting with third party operators:

We are aware that there are some local kayak and boat operators advertising various trips to Vigur but please be advised that these trips are not arranged in collaboration with us and therefore do not contribute anything to the safe-keeping of this wonderful environment. These trips do not land on Vigur because by law they must remain a stipulated distance from the island's shore so as not to disturb birdlife feeding on the water or nesting on the shore. Of particular concern are tours that intentionally bring boats or kayaks to mingle among dense numbers of puffin and other seabirds in the waters close to Vigur. Vigur is a nature reserve and one of the few places where these birds have respite from boats and human activity to feed and nest. Please lend us your support by not participating in activity that undermines our efforts to safeguard this special place and we thank you for your help.

Visiting by private boat, yacht or kayak:

If you plan to visit Vigur independently please see ‘Guidance for visiting ships, yachts and kayaks’ for vital information. Vigur is a private home, a working historic farm, a fragile wildlife sanctuary and an eider colony protected under Icelandic law - landing anywhere on the island, mooring or resting at anchor, undertaking activities such as snorkling, kayaking, SUP and diving is only allowed with prior permission from the Vigur landowners. Please help us look after this prescious place by not landing, paddling along the coast or resting at anchor unless you have spoken to us first. Thank you.
