Itinerary and highlights

A dairy farm in the Northwest of Iceland which is best known for their ice cream.

The largest settlement in Strandir and serves as a centre of commerce for the county. Here you also find the museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft.

Ghostlike village where hundreds of people lived during the golden “herring” age. An abandoned herring factory along with the rusted remains of Ms. Sudurland bring you back in time and give you an idea of how remote this place truly is.

Swimming pool where you can relax in the comfortably warm pool while watching the roaring waves of the North Atlantic. A truly sensational experience.
