The day began with the familiar Iceland drizzle as National Geographic Explorer made her way toward the charming settlement of Djupavik. Despite the misty weather, guests embraced the adventure, many slipping into kayaks to paddle through the serene fjord. They returned with damp seats but bright smiles, their spirits undampened by the soggy conditions. Others chose to explore the rugged landscape on foot, some opting for a gentle walk across the tundra, while some took on the challenge of ascending the steep cliffs above the historic Herring Museum. Their efforts were rewarded with a guided tour by local storyteller Magnus, ending with hot coffee and a slice of Iceland’s finest "happy marriage" cake.
After lunch, the activities continued, ensuring that no one had to choose between the day’s delights—everyone had the chance to both hike and kayak. And for the truly bold, there was the exhilarating Polar Plunge, a dip in icy waters that would awaken even the most adventurous souls.
