Tide times — Illugastaðir (seal watching)

Tide tables · nearest station: Hvammstangi · updates automatically

One of Iceland’s best-known seal-watching sites, on the west side of Vatnsnes. An easy ~800 m path leads to a viewing shelter with binoculars; the seals haul out on the skerries just offshore — most of them when the tide is low.

⚠️ CautionThe area is closed from late April until 20 June for the eider nesting season. Outside that window, keep to the path and avoid disturbing the seals.
