Explore the captivating landscape of East Iceland and embark on a quest to observe wild reindeer in their natural habitat. Reindeer were brought to Iceland in the late 18th century with a mandate from the Danish king but they have only thrived in the wild in East Iceland. The best times to spot large herds of reindeer are winter and spring when they migrate to the valleys for food. However, smaller groups can be found throughout the year. Our expert guides, with their in-depth knowledge and experience, will lead the search, aided by local farmers who provide information on the reindeer’s most recent whereabouts.
During the tour, you search for reindeer and enjoy the scenic landscape and the guide’s knowledge about the area, its nature, and culture. Your guide will ensure that the reindeer are not the only interesting thing you will see and learn about during your trip.
