About Yurt

A beautiful secluded Island in the mouth of one of Iceland’s largest glacial rivers. Raw and stunning nature. Wild salmon feasts and starry nights by the firepit. Isolated but easily accessible. A great base to explore Iceland’s incredible south, perfect for recharging the soul with minimal distraction from modern life.

An authentic experience that can be lived in the abundant nature of the island within an island.
The experience starts at 5 pm when Hákon, the only inhabitant of the island Traustholtshólmi, will be saluting the guests on the banks of river Þjórsá. The guests will be transfer to the island by the zodiac boat, and the ride is few minutes long.
The guests are invited to accompany Hákon as he ends to his nets and hauls the salmon. Unnetting is a patient process, and then the fish will be dressed and prepared in a unique way so that guests can enjoy fresh sashimi straight from the water. 
The guests have the opportunity to taste the absolutely sustainable first-contact with the vegetables straight from the centuries-old, undisrupted gardens.

The experience can be lived in the period 01 June until 20 July.
