EXPERIENCE GUFUÁ
Unique experiences for mindful travellers
Gufuá is a unique farm tucked in the hills of west iceland
Here, we practice farming and its intertwinement with slow and mindful travel. We firmly believe in practicing sustainability and finding harmony with nature and animals, which is at the centre of what we do.
Experience the farm
We offer three different tours to let you experience different aspects of our beautiful farm. From meeting the animals to walking around the farm to discover its hidden history, the tours are unique ways to learn more about Iceland, its landscape, animals and traditions.
Goat Walk
Walk our goats around our stunning farm and learn more about these unique animals.
This one-hour experience is a great way to spend some quality time with the goats, walk around our beautiful farm (and of course get some pretty great picture opportunities!).
Along the Cairn Path
Cairns, or “Varða”, are ancient way-markers used to show travellers their way. Several of them run through our farm and Sigga spent months restoring and researching them. In this 2-hour experience, she’ll share some of that unique history as well as some traditional folklore stories.
THE PEOPLE
My name is Sigga and I have been farming with horses, sheep and goats for over 30 years. I completed my studies in Organic Farming from the Hvanneyri Agricultural University of Iceland and have a degree in Permaculture Design. Farming sustainably and harmoniously is a crucial part of my lifestyle and I’m passionate about showing people this way of life and its benefits to people, nature and animals alike.
A Little Bit of Fame.
We launched our experiences in the summer of 2020 and we have been delighted with the positive feedback from both our visitors and the media. We put together some of the media coverage we’ve received since then to give you better sense of what you might be able to expect from our experiences as well as to hear what our visitors have had to say about them.
Please note the following media coverage is about our Goat Walks only as they seemed to attract a lot of attention - safe to say, goat walks took Iceland by storm in 2020!
