Eyjasigling (Island
Cruises) operates a 19 person leisure boat Súlan from Reykholar village in Breidafjordur bay. Scheduled trips to the magical islands

Skaleyjar and Flatey offers a breathtaking view of the rich bird life in
the bay as well as a peek into the charming culture of these beautiful
islands.
Skáleyjar Islands, along
with Flatey Island, are the only islands in Breidafjordur bay, which are
inhabited throughout the year. The islands have the smell and athmosphere of

collecting eggs from the eider ducks for food and hunting seals. Fishing
was, and is, an important part of life in the islands.

the islands. In the islands guests take a guided walk around the islands.
