Skriðuklaustur
Breiðdalsvík
At Skriðuklaustur, you can have a look at
the ruins of a medieval monastery from
the 16th century and visit the manor
house that author Gunnar Gunnarsson
built when he returned home from
Denmark in 1939. You can also visit the
restaurant Klausturkaffi, which offers,
for example, a lunch and cake buffet every
day. The restaurant places an emphasis
on using ingredients from the area,
such as bramble berries, Larch Bolete
mushrooms, and reindeer meat.
There is no wilder part of Iceland
than the bounding ocean! From the
delightful town of Breiðdalsvík, board
an atmospheric oak fishing boat for an
adventurous sail among the many grassy
islands offshore. Encounter playful
puffins and curious seals while fishing
or exploring the coastal fjords from the
unique vantage point of the sea. Our
skilled captains navigate to locally known
hotspots where you can reel in “the big
on.” Catch and Cook it doesn't get much
fresher than this! Sit back and relax while
our chefs prepare your big catch in the
superb Hotel Blafell Restaurant.
