Sólheimajökull – Please never go on a glacier without a certificate guide. The ice is always changing so it’s for your own safety! Reynisfjara black beach – Please be aware of the waves, there are sneaker waves that are large and come without a warning! – BE CAREFUL! Dyrhólaey – Please be aware of falling rocks, never go to the
edge because it can collapse. Follow the paths and never go over lines, there is a good reason why it was put there!
Puffins are around Vik from end of April until early September. They don‘t arrive in significant numbers until June-July. Best time of the day to spot the puffin is in the morning (07:00-10:00) and the evening (18:00-22:00). On sunny days they sometimes arrive as late as 21:00 to the cliff edge. On overcast or rainy days there is more chance of seeing them in the middle of the day. Otherwise the Puffins are out at the fishing grounds or in the burrows during the day. Best places are - Dyrhólaey, Reynisfjara and the beach in Vík. Please note: Dyrhólaey is closed from 8th of May until 25th of June 2018 from 7pm to 9am.
