Itinerary
Day 1
Skyrland visit and skyr tasting (included)
Arrive at Skyrland inside The Old Dairy for a short interpretive visit followed by a shared skyr tasting. This 40-minute experience covers a brief history of skyr and gives you time to taste multiple varieties. Special moment: share the tasting and photos together at the small display/tasting area.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled start to check in at the Skyrland entrance (Eyravegur 1) and collect any printed materials.
- Dress in layers — indoor exhibition spaces in Iceland can feel cool even in summer; bring a light jacket for comfort.
- Tasting portions are modest; plan to share tastes between you both and allow a few minutes after tasting to browse the small exhibition areas.
