Puffins, Puffins everywhere....adorable. July 2018 Circumnavigation of Iceland with a trip to the Arctic Circle
I have been to this Island three times. Nothing beats it for peace and quiet and the thousands of puffin and other birds are amazing. There are no hotels though, only 2 guest houses, although this was a few years ago. #OrbitzTravel

So comfortable and clean, and enough pillows! (I'm a pillow hoarder) Breakfast was lovely, everyone was friendly, and host is very helpful with getting you and your luggage where you need to be for the ferry back. Absolutely recommend!
