Hofn - Ocean's Beauty And Local Beer

OVERVIEW

Settle in for an incredibly picturesque drive along Iceland’s eastern shore to the fishing town of Höfn, where you will dine on fresh seafood and sample local beers. Along the way, you will enjoy sweeping views of jagged mountains, deep fjords, and a rugged rocky coastline where nature’s beauty is on constant display. The setting of seaside Höfn couldn’t be more breathtaking as majestic Vatnaajokull glacier serves as its backdrop. Although Höfn is hailed as the Lobster Capital of Iceland, tasty crustaceans only touch on types of the seafood that the fishing boats haul out of the Atlantic Ocean each day. Cod, haddock, and Arctic char – a mild fish related to salmon and lake trout – are also caught in abundance. At the harborside Heppa restaurant, you will dine on the fresh catch of the day, which will reflect the season. A tasting of beers brewed at the restaurant will round out the meal.
