Ferry to Flatey Island

Beautifully preserved traditional Icelandic houses in cheerful colors greet your arrival on Flatey Island. With only a small single road and a population of just two families in winter months, a visit to the island feels like stepping back in time.

Stroll through the tiny village of brightly painted old houses, stopping at the traditional church and library, before enjoying a home cooked lunch at the island's one hotel, watching locals pass by on wooden fishing boats. This quaint island is home to a dense population of birds, consisting mainly of Arctic terns, and promises a rural and authentic Icelandic adventure.
