Itinerary and highlights

Iceland’s greatest waterfall in water quantity.

A charming museum of wood and art craftsmanship, full of wonderful pieces made by the local farmer.

Rural Church - A stone throw from the beach, where the bitterly cold sea meets harsh volcanic rocks and black sand.

Stunning black cliffs. Here, thousands of sea birds nest. You can hike along the trail to the edge of the cliffs where it's possible to spot kittiwakes, guillemots, razorbills, and other birds as they dive into the sea.

Geothermal area where you can take a walk between the boiling mud puddles and smell the solfatares.

Nestled below a steep mountain, the seemingly deserted space is an attractive spot for a quiet walk over small black lava rocks.
