Wonderful craft experience, unique souvenir - This was a wonderful activity for the kids, especially after our puffin tour got cancelled due to weather. A fun craft with a gracious host in a gorgeous setting. My kids love their wool skrimsli and we bought an extra for my nephew. Definitely 5 stars.

Amazing experience in a magical place - We’ve had such a wonderful experience at the Skrimsli workshop on our last night in Iceland! Not only is the location stunning but Alma is an amazing host who made us feel so welcome and made the experience unforgettable. Being here at the workshop really captures the spirit of Iceland and its people. Warm, welcoming and magical! We went to the black beach and did the golden circle tour but making our own little Skrimsli was a highlight for sure because we actually get to take a piece of Iceland home with us. And we were part of creating it! You can choose real Icelandic wool for your Skrimsli and the materials are recycled which I absolutely love - handmade and sustainable!! + you don’t need any skills only the joy of picking out the perfect fabric and pieces that make your Skrimsli unique and lovable! I also took a book home with me. It is the story of the Skrimslis and a story of Icelandic culture. You can feel how much love goes into creating these magical little beings! Honestly, if you want to take a souvenir home from Iceland THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! I promise you they bring so much joy and make you feel like a little kid again - a feeling we should all embrace more often! Thank you for the wonderful experience and sharing a part of the Icelandic culture with us! We’ll be back for sure!!! ** i can also recommend making a Skrimsli at the beginning of your trip. I would have loved taking it to the stunning waterfalls and other beautiful places to take pictures with it - such a cute memorabilia and I can imagine it being even more fun for the kids (that don’t always love the photo sessions)!

Amazing time! - Alma is amazing!! I loved making monsters and the kids really loved it, especially! Great experience!! The kids make their own, she sews it together, then they choose eyes etc. Last, they fed (stuffed) their monster!

Great fun for every age. Everyone leaves with an extremely creative and unique personally created monster. - so much to choose from to create your very own wool monster using Icelandic wool and fun accessories. Amazing process to complete a finished souvenir. 3 generations all loved the experience. Special thanks to the creator of this unique process and the facilitator for our workshop.

This is a MUST! - We adored this! It's a must, my 5 and 8 year old had the best time! My husband and I also made one, it was so fun and the sights were amazing along with the fun experience. What a great keepsake to remember our trip forever!

Capturing the essence of someone - This was a really cool workshop. Customizing a gift/souvenier for my daughter was neat. I got to make something for her that was uniquely "her".
