Goðafoss
Tourist attraction
👍👍 What a wonderful, scenic attraction! So easy to get in and out of. A wide, paved walking path made it a breeze to get to right off the main road. There's a gift shop and bathrooms for all the road warriors out there in need of a quick stop. Multiple viewing points make it so easy to capture that pe...

Dettifoss (West Side)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Very powerful great waterfall.
I recommend the east side for two reasons, first it seems you get closer to everything and when we visited it was very cloudy and seemed like if you were on the other side you wouldn’t be able to see it as well.
Secondly it gives good access to Hagrilfoss with good vie...

Hálsanefshellir Cave

👍👍 Beautiful basalt columns located on gorgeous black sand beach. You are able to climb the basalt columns however our guide informed us they are very slippy and prone to crumble, so I wouldn’t advise for safety reasons, and of course to preserve the beautiful columns.
Please make sure you are informe...

Reykjadalur Thermal Bathing Pools
Hiking area
👍👍 Amazing thermal bath, well worth the hike. If you’re a little on the bigger side it is completely doable, just be aware the first 20-25 mins is uphill and pretty tiresome but after that it’s smooth sailing rest of the way. If you want to avoid paying parking just park outside the parking lot and wal...

Borgarfjarðarhöfn
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I never understood the craze of seeing puffins in Iceland until I came here and saw them with my own eyes. They’re actually really cute, and it’s really fun to see different birds’ personalities. When I went, there were two puffins trying to smack the living daylights out of each other, while the re...
