Nearby things to do

1-2h
Jökulsárlón Lagoon
Breathtaking glacier lagoon and home to a variety of floating icebergs, some of which are up to 1,000 years old. Its massive icebergs have broken off from the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, drifting slowly across the turquoise water before heading out to sea.

3h
Crystal Ice Cave
Unique natural wonder inside the Vatnajökull glacier. The cave's walls are made of translucent ice that glows in various shades of blue and turquoise, creating a surreal and otherworldly atmosphere.

30m
Diamond Beach
Striking black sand beach where icebergs that break off the glacier wash ashore. The ice chunks, shaped by the ocean waves, vary in size and glisten like diamonds against the dark volcanic sand, creating a stark and mesmerizing contrast.

2h
Svartifoss Waterfall
Unique waterfall known for its backdrop of dramatic black basalt columns that resemble a giant pipe organ formed by ancient volcanic activity. The waterfall tumbles over these hexagonal columns, creating a stunning visual contrast between the dark rock and the white water, making it one of Iceland’s most photographed and iconic waterfalls.

1h
Fjallsárlón Lagoon
Serene glacial lagoon located just west of its more famous neighbor, Jökulsárlón. It sits at the base of the Fjallsjökull glacier, a tongue of the massive Vatnajökull ice cap.

3-5h
Múlagljúfur Canyon
One of Iceland’s hidden treasures, located near the Vatnajökull glacier in the southeast. This dramatic and lesser-known canyon is carved deep into the landscape, featuring steep moss-covered cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the Múlakvísl river flowing through its base.

Renowned for their dramatic landscape combo of a stunning natural beauty. Vestrahorn is a jagged, 1,500-foot tall mountain with sharp peaks rising straight from the black sand beach, creating a striking contrast against the Atlantic Ocean.
