Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful waterfall. You can hike to the base of the upper section. It's steep and you'll get warm, so leave your warm clothes behind. Instead make sure to take rain jacket, if you want to get to the falling stream

Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge

You can do it somewhat by balancing on the rocks emerging from the water, but waterproof shoes are definitely recommended. There are also parts where you will need to climb/scale the walls of the g...

FRISTA Food Truck Arnarstapi
Restaurant
👍👍 It's delicious! We had fish & chips / sweet potato chips and everyone loved it.
The portions are huge.
If you get many people ordering before you - be ready to wait long for your order, as there are only two people preparing the food.

Svörtuloft Lighthouse
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Epic location, the drive is quite testing in the winter but worth it. Unfortunately the sky got dark by the time we reached the lighthouse. Don’t trust the time duration google maps shows you because it takes 5x more time than that to get there!

Ytri Tunga
Beach
👍👍 Absolutely loved our visit to Ytri Tunga. After 2 weeks of black sand beaches, the golden sand was definitely a site to be seen. However, it was the seal colonies that we were really there to see. We came first thing in the morning and the seals were everywhere - swimming around in groups, and lo...

Fjöruhúsið café
Cafe
👍👍 Cozy little cafe tucked near the ocean. The bay that is near has a cool vibe, especially when it’s rainy and windy. I got the Swiss Mocha and tried their waffle and skyrcake. The drink was great, it had a pronounced bitterness that was balanced with the milk froth on top. The waffle and skyrcake wer...
