Tvistur Horse Rental
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We decided on the spur of the moment to go horseback riding and decided on this place based on the past reviews.
What a memorable experience it was! Our youngest daughter had not been on a horse before and was a bit nervous but the father/son team guided us expertly through meadows and streams for...

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...

Michelle Bird
Artist
👍👍 I stayed with Michelle twice, once in May 2015 and then again in Dec 2022, and both times were unforgettable. I’ve always had a sensitive soul and have loved the way art makes me feel. But what Michelle did in Borgarnes I had never experienced before: she turned her house into an exhibition and invi...

Reindeer sculpture
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Absolute highlight of our Iceland trip. Nothing could have prepared me for witnessing such a majestic sculpture.
It is clear that this touristic hotspot has brought great prosperity to the little town of Egilsstaðir. Rumor has it that the local airport was built just to accommodate the ever-growin...

Jökulsárlón
Tourist attraction
👍👍 An easy five stars. The lagoon is a ever changing visual feast, notwithstanding all the tourists it attracts. I opted to view the lagoon from the shore, I wasn’t convinced the cost of a boat tour was worth it given what you can see from the shore. I was lucky enough to see Seals. Very windy the day...

Múlagljúfur Canyon
Tourist attraction
👍👍 So glad we found this spot based on some recommendations.
Not very crowded. A bit of the bumpy ride on a camper but there was a whole bunch of other campers too. But might require 4x4 in worse weather.
Hike itself if majestic! Get a view of a glacier and the canyon at the same time.
Few people in re...

Several trips to REI, some online orders, and we had all the things Jeanie had suggested and we thought we'd need. Everything worked great! All the suggestions were excellent and effec...

JFS Handcrafts - Steinasafn - Stonegarden - Free entry
Museum
👍👍 Nice stop just from the ringroad. Authentic story from Jon, the owner and a former fisherman; how his life changed and he found new purpose through working with stones. Nice little workshop with handcrafted gifts. Would certainly recommend.

Viewpoint of Fjallsjökull
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Totally recommend it!
The road to get there isn't the greatest, but you can still make it without a 4x4, just take it easy.
The view is seriously amazing!
Went there on a summer day, and it was kinda empty at first, but later on, a bunch of people showed up. I even saw some micro buses with other...

Viewpoint over Jökulsárlón
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Filled with icebergs floating upon the lake's surface that change hour to hour, the lake is also home to seals. Glassy blue ice means the iceberg has just flipped while white ice means the icebergs have seen a lot of sun. If one has time, the Zodiac tour boat ride is a lot of fun. Recommend arriving...

Geldingadalir Volcano
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Really impressive display, jaw dropping, awesomeness. You feel the heat as soon as you see the lava. The sound and light reaches you in a way I can’t find the words to credit this appropriately. The hike was intense even during good weather, it took over 2 hours. You must visit this place asap. We d...
