We had the most amazing morning with Caroline at Dalahestar. With three kids aged 7-12-14 our expectations where met and all had the most beautiful ride along the fjords. Being total beginners Caroline expertly told and showed us how to behave and handle the horses. Bring warm clothes, gloves and hats. It can be cold even in the summer. We felt safe and in good hands. I can fully recommend Dalahestar; it is not posh but driven by heart and competence.

The Center of Leif Eiriksson is located by the Budardalur harbor in one of the town's oldest houses. An ambitious history exhibition is placed on the second floor, with a cozy café downstairs. The Center of Leif Eiriksson is a mix of fun and education, where history is brought to life and you can get to know the details of the Norse expeditions to the west during the Viking era.

In Eiríksstadir you can travel a thousand years back in history, hear a story by the long fire and see how people lived in the times of Eric the Red.

We vere so very lucky to be able to visit this historical place recently. We got a private tour since they have not officially opened for this summer because of Covid-19. I am icelandic but still had not been here before. This place being the home of the icelandic Vikings, Eiríkur rauði and Leifur Eiríksson is a living museum. The longhouse restored to show us how the Vikings lived. I found it interesting that the beds were small but apparently people slept in a sitting position during these times. Our guide dressed in linien clothes and wool was very knowledgeable both regarding the history and how the Vikings lived. I totally recommend that you visit Eiríksstaðir, their location is just a short distance from Búðardalur and well marked from the main road.
