On this 7 hour tour we drive west from Akureyri, through beautiful valleys, pass some unique jagged mountains and steep cliffs, to visit some locals on their farm. At this farm you get to see how Icelanders live on a farm today, you also get a glimpse into how life and work was on the farm throughout the centuries. A newly built turf stable like they use to be in the “good old days” is part of the farm as well. The heritage of the Icelanders plays a big role in every family. The old Viking stories tell us about how the families got to Iceland in the 9th century. Why they came here and what they brought with them. Icelandic horses & the Icelandic dog are good example of things that have been here since the Viking days. Heritage provides us with the knowledge of how things were made and used in the rural areas of the world.

After plenty of time exploring the farm and some refreshments we drive to Sauðárkrókur. At Sauðárkrókur we visit an exhibition and VR experience where we are able to jump back in time and take part in an Icelandic Viking battle from the year 1238. The exhibition is an immersive experience which invites its guests to experience history in a super modern and artful interactive installation. We stop at Sauðarkrókur for 1,5 – 2 hours so you will have plenty time to look at the Viking Battle exhibition, go to a café or restaurant for some lunch or stroll around the town. (Lunch is not included in tour price).

After spending the day in Skagafjörður, it's time to head back to Akureyri where there is an option to be dropped off at your accommodation.
