Tasting the Local Delicacies
Icelandic cuisine is rich and varied, with something to suit every taste. Some Icelandic food can be an acquired taste, so it’s a good idea to be prepared.
The country’s natural resources – fresh seafood, succulent meats, and an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables – mean that Icelandic dishes are packed with flavor. Popular dishes include fish soup, lamb stew, and the national dish of Iceland, hákarl (cured shark).
For those with a sweet tooth, there are plenty of options too. Skyr – a type of yogurt – is a popular dessert, while vöffla (waffles) are often served with fruit or ice cream. And of course, no mention of Icelandic food would be complete without mentioning the country’s famous chocolate lava cakes!
If you’re interested in libations, Brennivin, the country’s signature spirit, is known as the “Black Death,” but don’t let that deter you. Just beware it has an alcohol content of thirty-seven percent and is usually served as an ice-cold shot.
Luxury in a Snapshot
Other travel services force you to stay in Reykjavic and spend most of your days driving out to do various activities and see specific points of interest. When you travel Iceland with Lugos Travel, you will make the most of your journey with luxury accommodations in remote locations that cut down an average of six hours of driving per day. Getting these precious hours back will greatly enhance your overall experience.
Our luxury Iceland vacations consist of private, English-speaking guided tours in each of three cities, delectable welcome and farewell dinners, and four-star (or higher) hotels. In addition, we offer “excitement” activity categories such as whale watching (for those that like to get out on the water for an up-close view), a geothermal tour by helicopter that will thrill even the most experienced travelers, horseback riding, snowmobiling on a glacier, or an extreme ATV action tour.
Our founder, Shane Mahoney, made sure to include “pampered” activity categories like room upgrades or spa packages. We also offer “savor” categories for foodies that feature fine gourmet dining overlooking one of Iceland’s plethora of salmon rivers.
