Learn about the production of premium Icelandic gin and whiskey on a guided tour of the Eimver Distillery in Reykjavik. Taste Iceland's first and only whiskey, some Vor Premium Gin, and Viti Brennivín. Start with an introduction to the distillery and a welcome drink. Following the introduction, learn about the history of whiskey in Iceland and how it came to be produced at Eimverk distillery. Feel free to ask plenty of questions throughout the experience. After you’ve learned a bit about the history of the distillery, it’s time for the tasting to start. As you go through the products, discover everything about the production of these premium spirits, from the initial thought process to the current state of development of Eimverk’s products. When the first half of the tasting is over, head towards the distillery’s production facility. Learn about the steps of the process right from the beginning of the barley harvesting, to the delicious glass of liquor at the end. Take some photos of the fascinating production area, and then head back to the tasting room for the second half of the sampling. As you taste the spirits, listen to your guide share interesting stories and explanations about the drinks, and mingle with the other guests on the tour.

Enjoy a wonderful time with family or friends in our workshop. Located just 10 minutes from Reykjavik, surrounded by beautiful nature and birdlife, we offer you the opportunity to make your very own Icelandic souvenir. We have made a great variety of hands, feet, hair, horns and tails. You choose the body and what you want to put on it, and we sew your Skrimsli together. Then you choose the eyes and mouth. This is a great activity for families with children, group of friends, a couple and everyone that likes to create unforgettable memories. You will leave our workshop with a new friend that you designed, a unique little wool monster we call Skrimsli and which is made of pure 100% Icelandic wool.

Enjoy an hour of an unforgettable RIB boat adventure where power, breathtaking view, fresh air, freedom and music play a big role. Meet your guide at the Kópavogur harbor. Put on a warm overall and a live jacket we head to the boat. Speed along the shore of Garðabær and Álftanes, where the President of Iceland lives. Admire the residence of the President we continue our ride to the shore of Grótta and then along the south coast of Reykjavík. Stop by the golden sanded beach of Nauthólsvík, relax and try a local Icelandic specialty: harðfiskur (dried fish). Taste the dried fish, a healthy snack, rich in protein and nutrients, and a "must try" when in Iceland. Return to the harbor and feel the power of the RIB boat on the trip back.
