Overview

Discover the heritage of the Icelandic people and the Viking ancestors on a guided tour from Akureyri. Visit a local farm, meet the animals, learn about the Viking Battle of 1238 with a VR experience.
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 and what they brought with them. Icelandic horses and the Icelandic dog have been here since the Viking days.

Visit the Old Stable, built of turf and rocks like Icelanders used to make houses for more than 1000 years. This tour is ideal for anyone who wants to find out more about Icelandic culture and daily life during different periods in history, as well as meet and learn more about the Icelandic horse.
After exploring the farm and some refreshments, drive to Sauðárkrókur and visit an exhibition and VR experience where you are able to jump back in time and take part in an Icelandic Viking battle from the year 1238.
