We booked a Chocolate and Beer tasting tour off of our cruise ship at the last minute. Little did we know that it also included a wonderful guided walk around the quaint town of Siglufjordur. Our ship used Sóti Summits and by luck we had Ólöf Ýrr Atladóttir for our guide who is the owner and director of Sóti Summits. They also own a hotel/lodge in Siglufjordur. Ólöf was such a pleasure to be with and had witty, fun and pleasant personality as well as full of knowledge of both the town, region and Iceland. One of her past job was actually the director of tourism for Iceland.
The chocolates at Frida Chocolates and the beer at Seegull 67 were wonderful and plentiful. I have been to several breweries but this one was very unique being in an old herring factory and ice house.

Read moreThey have really limited hours but they do private tours (for a fee). Buddy and I came in and unfortunately we were confused with another two person group who came the day before. So no one was waiting for us, we just called and they sent a person over. The guy who helps out with the tour was a great guy and we began our tour. The usual tour setting along with the delicious beer that goes along with it. Their IPA....is amazing (as was their celebration beer) you must try it. Coming from America, everyone loves to do IPA's, but this brewery by far has a top place now...
Read moreChill, relaxed spot to grab a beer, cocktail, or non alcoholic beverage. While they do not have an extensive beer menu (in fact don’t expect an American “brewery” experience anywhere in Iceland that’s even remotely local), they do have house brews and a variety of other drink options. No food but they do offer crisps for purchase. Cool history if you do some peeking into it. Great for groups. They offer tours on the website. Lots of locals - it doesn’t get more...
