Mia's Country Van - Local Fish & Chips
Fish & chips restaurant
👍👍 This is hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had! The fish is so tender, moist and flaky. The batter is light and crispy and not oily at all! I have had a fair share of fish and chips in my days but this one is the best. The chips are so crispy, you have many choices with the sauces and ot...

Nauthúsagil
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Came in March - it was possible to drive in fairly easily in a standard rental 4x4. The car park is easily found. The one thing to note is in winter you MUST bring crampons - it is not possible in any way, without. You get to the bottom of the trek naturally, as a rubber path guides you. After this,...

Seljalandsfoss Horizons
Hotel
👍👍 Nice, clean, quiet little cottages. Saw northern nights first night. Our only complaint is the shades are sheer, so even when drawn people can see right in, even in bathroom.

Goðaland Guesthouse

😠 having 32 tents and multiple rooms, and only 4 shared showers inside "budget gym" like bathroom is a joke.. zero privacy..
overall:
tents - great, but impossible to sleep well with noise all around, you basically hear people snoring in other tents
bathroom - gross and limited
breakfast - bare minimu...

👍👍 The location of the hotel is great for sightseeing around Skogar and just minutes away from Skogafoss. There was plenty of parking and the breakfast was outstanding. The breakfast is a cold bar but there is plenty of food and it is restocked often with cold cuts and breads.
The rooms are large and...

Smáratún Farmhouse Cottages & Chalets
Hotel
👍👍 (Review of campground only). Good facilities, uncrowded, with a majestic view of mountains and glaciers. The area for campervans is relatively small, and we were the only one there during our stay. There is just one bathroom, but two showers and a good-sized kitchen (shared with an adjoining smal...

Paradise Cave

🫤 First of all... Understand what you're about to visit. Check out the photos.
If you really want to do it - I think its waste of time and its dangerous - the GPS coordinates are:
63.597267,-19.958549 (cave)
and
63.596802,-19.969739 (parking)
The cave is tiny about 15qm. The 5 star rating of this o...
