Thor’s Power Gym
Gym
👍👍 It was a great pleasure to meet and train alongside the mountain himself making me feel like a dwarf at 6ft2 lol
But as a boxer and boxing coach while I was out in Iceland I had to see the training difference in strongman training and just weightlifting and I was literally blown the different variet...

Hólar farm
Animal shelter
👍👍 Couldn’t recommend visiting here more! Absolutely love all the animals and being able to interact with them. Staff is beyond friendly and welcoming as soon as you get there. Be prepared to get some dirt on you as the sweet pups running around also like to say hi. Thank you so much for sharing your f...

Tjöruhúsið
Seafood restaurant
👍👍 This restaurant in the basement of an old home/church has been in the family for the owner for many years. The interior setting is reminiscent of an ale house so learn to be cozy with your neighbor. The owner and servers delighted us with tales of the location and history while the meals were bein...

Keli Sea Tours - Whale Watching Akureyri
Whale watching tour agency
👍👍 Our tour with Keli Sea Tours was absolutely wonderful! We were transported 20-30 minutes down the fjord by minibus, to a much more isolated dock, surrounded by the beauty of Grenevik, rather than the busyness of the cruise ship port. The guide was friendly and shared personal family tales and local...

Hálsanefshellir Cave
Tourist attraction
👍👍 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...

Sturlureykir Visiting Horse Farm
Stable
👍👍 If you do not go for a horseback ride here you will regret it everyday of your life until you actually experience it! These are among the friendliest people I've ever met. They have well trained and gentle horses that are all born and raised on their farm. My wife and I showed up unannounced, and th...

Klifbrekku Waterfall
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful waterfall, one of the many in Iceland. If you're traveling this way and Klifbrekku is on your way, than make sure you stop and make a look. Otherwise I don't recommend a visit because it's a long drive here and you can lose precious time. Waterfall can be seen from the road and it's not we...

Finnsstaðir Horse Ranch
Guest house
👍👍 We visited this beautiful ranch in March 2022, booked via Guide to Iceland. My horse's name was Vinur (Friend) and he was very patient with me, a first time rider. On our ride, we were accompanied by the owner's big yellow lab, who decided to take a brief swim as we rode by a river (even though the...

Gerðarsafn Kópavogur Art Museum
Modern art museum
👍👍 We had a wonderful time visiting one weekend, me, my 9 year old and a friend. They were most excited about the natural exhibition in the library but there were plenty of things to keep the kids interested for a full afternoon. Highly recommended, I was surprised by how good it was actually.

The tour guide was very professional and taught us about some of Iceland's history and culture while riding the horse. All the workers were kind.
