About Grimsey

Grimsey is a small island, 41 km north of Iceland, and therefore the northernmost inhabited Icelandic territory. The length of the island is 5.5 km x 2 km. About 60 people live on the island.

Grimsey can be reached either by flight from Akureyri, which takes about 20 minutes, or by a ferry that takes off from Dalvík, a journey of about three hours.

The island holds a small store, café, restaurant, and guesthouse.  The puffins are undoubtedly the main attraction in Grimsey, though this magnificent bird nests on the island’s cliffs in April and goes back to sea in August.
