Arnarstapi, Iceland

About Arnarstapi

Today, it is now a major trading port with easy access to countries like Denmark and Norway. Today, you can still find a lot of structures dating back to the 1770s built by the Danish settlers. Ever since the industrialization, Arnarstapi turned into a small fishing hamlet and is not a quaint palace for you to travel to and simply immerse yourself in the vibes it offers. Although fishing is a major activity, it is second to tourism, thanks to the places to see and things to do. 


Highlights

  • Trek to Hellnar and admire the views of the ocean and the formations made by lava millions of years ago. 
  • Have coffee in the cafe near Hellnar after you complete your trek to conclude the trek to Hellnar.

  • Try out your luck in fishing in this fishing village and carry home some fish as your prized possession.
