The Unique Adventure Tour

The Bird Watching Tour from Stykkisholmer is a "Unique Adventure Tour" indeed. Aside from seeing Puffins, Skags, White-Tailed Eagles, and countless Eider Ducks the highlight of this boat tour is when the sailors drop the trawl and comb the seabed for fresh shellfish. Here are the highlights.

The options include raw scallops, crab roe, and sea urchins with white wine to wash it down
