The Fljót Valley in northern Iceland is a gateway for adventures ranging from mountain biking to sea kayaking. Located on a converted sheep farm, Deplar Farm blends into the natural landscape with its black timber cladding and grass-sodded roof, and the floor-to-ceiling windows around the property that embrace the surrounding peaks. Iceland’s midnight sun means long summer days and endless opportunity for outdoor activities. April through September is prime time for fly fishing and Eleven has access to some of the most exclusive rivers in Iceland. The Fljótaá, a world-class Atlantic salmon and Arctic char river, is in the backyard. Further away, Deplar Farm has two cabins along an eight-mile stretch of the two-rod Hölkna River so guests can overnight steps from the fishery. Back at the lodge, many guests choose to spend entire days in the spa, hopping from the geothermal-heated outdoor pool to the hot tub.

The otherworldly landscape of Eyjafjörður is a must-see. Spot white beaked dolphins, humpback, blue and orca whales. Whale watching in Iceland is a truly unforgettable experience.
It’s no surprise the North Atlantic ocean serves up enviable surf, but the quality of the breaks offers an element of surprise. Yes, it’s cold. Yet outfitted with 6/5/4 mm wetsuits, you’ll be comfortable in the line up. Expect mostly right-handers, with an occasional left break. And you may just spot local pro surfer Heiðar Logi in his happy place.
Heli-skiing on the Troll Peninsula is known for its beautiful rolling descents and steep couloirs taking you all the way to the ocean. This land of the midnight sun offers true adventurers extended daylight hours with more opportunity to rack up the vertical.
Discover frozen valleys during winter via fat tire snow bikes. These man-powered bikes have fat tires to float through the snow (and we promise a workout, too). Fat biking is equally fun come summer, with private trails located in our nearby mountain bike park.
