Getting There & Around
How to Get to Borgarey
Borgarey is reached by boat from nearby Westfjord communities. Local charter operators or fishing skippers can arrange short visits in summer; check weather and sea conditions before planning a trip.
Tips for Visiting Borgarey
- Bring layers: Westfjords weather changes fast and a sunny morning can turn windy by noon.
- If hiking the small island, pack a lightweight waterproof as the wind off the fiord can be persistent.
- Watch for seals and sea birds on the rocks around the islet.
