Experience the Settlement Period Farm of Eirik the Red and Leif Eiriksson
Iceland is famous for its Viking heritage, but there are not many places where can see what everyday life for those first settlers of Iceland felt like. At Eiríksstaðir, we combine the fascinating realities of daily life on the edge of the known-world at the time with the thrilling exploits of the family that built the original back in the 900s. Our guides welcome you inside our fully furnished replica, which stands beside the ruined original. You will experience the Sagas as they were originally told, but also see, touch, and smell the atmosphere where people lived over a thousand years ago. You will learn about the surprising ways that women contributed to the running of the family and farm, as well as all about the ingenious ways that people came up with to survive out here in a land without many of the resources of their homelands.
Viking BBQ
Immerse yourself in Icelandic history with our authentic Viking BBQ experience, set in unique locations like a traditional longhouse, secluded cave, or tranquil forest. Enjoy a hearty feast featuring flame-grilled meats, fresh-caught fish, and classic Viking sides, all cooked using ancient techniques. This immersive culinary journey is complemented by local craft beers or mead, bringing the Viking spirit to life. Surrounded by nature and rustic charm, the setting enhances every bite and story shared. Perfect for history lovers, foodies, and adventurous travelers seeking a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Iceland.
