Eleven Deplar Farm

Cast your line into Iceland’s cold, clear rivers where salmon and Arctic char thrive. With expert guides leading the way, you’ll learn to read the water, choose the right flies and make each cast count. The Troll Peninsula offers a rugged backdrop with wide valleys, dark rocks and streams that run fast from melting snow. You can spend hours wading through shallow runs or standing on the banks watching the line tighten.

Each catch is earned, each release deliberate. Whether it’s your first time fly fishing or your hundredth, the mix of patience, precision and raw landscape makes the experience deeply grounding.

Head out from Deplar Farm on a guided hike to the Ghost Farm, a remote site steeped in local legend. The route takes you across open valleys, past rivers and moss-covered slopes, with views that stretch all the way to the sea. As you walk, your guide shares the history of the old settlement and the people who once lived there, long before the land was reclaimed by nature.

It’s a steady, rewarding climb, with the changing terrain keeping you on your toes. When you finally reach the abandoned ruins, there’s a real sense of stepping back in time – a glimpse of Iceland’s rugged past.

Head to the north coast for an unforgettable whale watching trip in the cold, clear waters off Iceland. You’ll board a small boat with local guides who know these seas well, steering you through deep fjords where humpbacks, orcas and minke whales are often seen feeding. As the wind brushes your face, you watch for the flick of a tail or the burst of spray from a blowhole cutting through the still air.

The experience feels raw and natural – no crowds, no rush, just you and the open sea. Between sightings, you’ll take in the vast Arctic landscape that defines this untouched coastline.
