In a nutshell

At Litlibaer, a small farm on the Isafjordur, Iceland's rural traditions are still going strong. Your local guide will introduce you to their custodians: local farmers who will teach you how to make butter by hand, and will tell you the story of their lives over a tasting of dairy products made in the same way as in days gone by. As a side dish, enjoy endless views and glimpses of seals.

Main stops

The programme

It is difficult to explain Iceland in words, but after this experience, you'll be able to tell everyone about its most rural side.
You'll start with some photostops, your local guide knows the most isolated spots, perfect for your souvenir photos.
And that's just the beginning. As you open the door to the Litlibaer farmhouse, you'll find yourself plunged into the life of Icelanders in the early 1900s. Here's a spoiler: it wasn't easy! In this small stone building, which is now home to a museum, butter is still made using a churn and plenty of elbow grease!
Do you fancy having a go too? It is almost as easy as tasting the products: for your traditional rural snack, you'll enjoy dairy products with home-made jam and the typical local bread.
After diving into the past, immerse yourself in nature again observing the seals as they splash about in their natural habitat.
