[2025 Myrdalshreppur Attraction] Travel Guide for Dyrholaey (Updated Jun)

I still remember getting off the bus and walking straight ahead until I saw this sea arch in front of me. Standing here quietly watching the waves hitting the shore, the endless sea makes people feel very peaceful and all worries are thrown behind. Just before sunset, the setting sun shines softly on the sea arch, and the warm color adds a touch of calmness. Does anyone think that the sea is a panacea like me? #mostcooltravelexperience #attractionphotographyguide #travelinspiration #kolcheck-inhotspot #naturalwonders #seasidephotographystrategy #iceland #iceland #icelandroadtrip #overseastravel

#summervacay Dyrhólaey is a dramatic promontory on Iceland’s South Coast, known for its towering cliffs, natural stone arch, and sweeping views of black sand beaches. In summer, the headland comes alive with vibrant greenery and becomes a haven for seabirds, especially puffins, which nest on the cliffs from May to August. The clear weather often reveals panoramic views of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, Reynisfjara beach, and endless Atlantic horizons. Warm, long daylight hours of the Icelandic summer make Dyrhólaey a perfect stop for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers seeking Iceland’s wild coastal beauty.

To those of you who are hesitating to travel to Iceland, I can definitely tell you not to hesitate. It's so beautiful even though I came in March, which is the off-season. I strongly urge you to try it at least once. #Overseas travel #Iceland

Where to watch puffins in Iceland??? I, who have toured Iceland for puffins, must recommend Borgarfjörður eystri This is considered the easternmost part of Iceland I just floored the accelerator 10H drive, arrived in one day! At 4 AM and 4 PM Saw puffins heading out to sea to forage and returning from foraging There are really, really many here You can totally get up close. The premise is not to disturb them Just quietly appreciate the scenery and the cute little cuties Besides that Other recommended places to watch puffins in Iceland are also listed for you: Dyrholaey (the best to visit, there will be closing times during the nesting period) Látrabjarg (cliff sea view! Extremely spectacular!) Ingólfshöfði (need to sign up for a bird watching group to see) Lundey (an island full of puffins! The name means Puffin Island, most likely only accessible by boat) Öxarfjörður (quite niche, I haven't been there) Vestmannaeyjabaer (the scenery of Westman Islands is worth more than bird watching)

Iceland has the highest number of Puffins in the world accounting for 60% of the world's puffin population In other words, there are 8 million to 10 million Puffins that call Iceland their home😆 That’s why many people call the parrot the national bird of Iceland (Although Iceland’s national bird is actually Gyrfalcon) They fly out of Iceland to spend the winter at sea every winter They return to Iceland to nest every summer There are chances to find Puffin in the following places! South coast of Iceland Dyrhólaey, Ingólfshöfði, Westman islands, Lundey Eastern Iceland Borgarfjörður Eystri Westfjord, Iceland Látrabjarg Bird Watching Cape Northwest Iceland Hornbjarg, Hornstrandir, Hælavíkurbjarg Western Iceland Breiðafjörður We have been to Westfjord before, although it is a bird watching paradise but there were relatively few Puffins 🥹🥹 However, this time I went to the east to see much more! Occasionally there will be one or two ~ There are many foreigners waiting with us 💓

Who wants to feel like you're at the end of the world? Who wants to feel different feelings in the east, west, south, and north? "Dyrholay" is a black sand beach, and in the spring and summer seasons, you can even see puffins that you can only see in Iceland 🐘 The grandeur of the elephant rock and a place that will pierce my heart!!! Tip> It's located in a high place, so it's very windy and very cold When you go to see puffins, don't walk but drive down to the black sand beach and there are paid restrooms and other parking lots #Overseas travel

Dyrhlaey, in Icelandic, refers to the gate of the island, which has cliffs on the south and west sides, and a narrow stone with an arched door in the middle of the narrow stone. Small planes and boats can pass through this arched door, which is why Dyrhlaey gets its name. There are many birds inhabiting the summer, including Puffin. Standing on the edge of the cliff, you can see the huge black lava column below, extending into the sea 120 meters, looks like an arch in the distance, some people say like the Elephant Trunk Hill.
