Maui has long been a favorite of visitors because it represents everything that people think of when they picture Hawaiʻi: beaches, volcanoes, palm trees, and tropical agriculture. The second-biggest island in the chain, much of Maui’s appeal comes from its natural landscape and biodiversity, including its two massive volcanoes, whale watching, and marine ecosystems, and remote, undeveloped parts of its island, like Hana.

And then, there’s food and drinks!
As one of the Nordics, Iceland’s cuisine heavily influences this diet, though the country also boasts its own unique foods and dishes. One of which is the iconic Ísey Skyr, which has been a mainstay in Icelanders’ diets for centuries! Traditional Icelandic food, at its core, revolves around lamb, dairy, and fish. Fish, in particular, is central to the Icelandic diet. Iceland is an island after all, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Here are some foods to get your residents in the spirit:
- Start your party by whipping up a Basil Bliss! – In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 parts vodka with 1 part elderflower liqueur, ½ part sugar syrup and ¾ freshly-squeezed lemon juice and mix. Top up with fizzy grapefruit just before serving and garnish with a few basil leaves per glass. This classic combination also works as a mocktail for anyone who doesn’t fancy a drink – simply prepare the same way, but without the vodka!
- Langoustine soup is hearty and can be made in large batches.
- Icelandic Baked fish is easy to replicate and pass off
- Kjotsupa Lamb stew
- Icelandic pancakes – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! But in reality, this Icelandic recipe for pancakes can be eaten at any time of day. They’re thin, delicious, and can be dipped in all sorts of tasty treats to make them even more exciting.
- The grand finale – Create-your-own Ísey Skyr pud – High in protein, rich in calcium, and naturally fat-free, Ísey Skyr is loaded with goodness and is the perfect food to end your three-course meal. Make it a sociable affair by serving bowls full of different toppings – such as nuts and chopped fruits – so your guests can customize their dessert. Just make sure there’s lots of honey on the table for drizzling! OR you can try your hand at this Icelandic Skyr Cake and make it dessert!
- Ísey Skyr is available in its natural form or can be enjoyed in one of our fresh flavors, including vanilla, blueberry, mango, and strawberry. Find out where to buy here.
