When I told my husband we were off to a goat farm he was a little skeptical - and 5 minutes later he was in love with all the baby goats (kids). We arrived exactly at opening after a short drive down a gravel road (worth it). We were the first ones for the day. We paid for our entrance (1600 ISK) and the employee walked us in and around and introduced us to all the goats and taught us about the farm. I wasn’t expecting such a personalized experience and it was really wonderful. The goats are so friendly and adorable, and we loved interacting with them.

You get to spend as much time as you like with the goats which are extremely friendly and fun to be around. Our guide, Edda, was incredibly knowledgeable (not just about goats but about all things Iceland). The owner's story is also amazing to hear. On top of which, you get to meet a Game of Thrones star from season 4. OH.....and the food products made from goat milk are amazing....just ask Mummi when you go inside. (His name is way too hard to say so his...
