Day Trips From Reykjavik

Our guide was very kind and as a biologist she could tell us so much about the whales, dolphins, puffins and other animals. Also, they informed us about the bad weather prediction so we could change our reservation. Very happy we did, we had sun and a calm sea, and saw so many humpbacks!

The staff were really nice and the guide Mark was excellent. Mark knew how to tell facts about the animals and was fun to listen to. We saw a few dolphins and lots of puffins and whales.

We really enjoyed seeing the whales, but we weren't at all impressed with "Puffin Island": we saw the island but not the puffins! It felt like a rip-off.

Yes, all is expensive in Iceland. So be not surpised that this hot spring is expensive as well. If you are a tourist you are knowing this fact 😊. But this hot spring is amazing! Absolutely friendly in the welcoming, it's all clean, the tubes are designed great beeing smootly integrated in the environment. Every tube has a different temperature down to ocean itself so you can select different choices. The sauna looks great as well - we havn't tried that; we were so happy about the tubes, so we stayed there only 😊. And for sure the view to the bay area was amazing.

Hvammsvik Hot Spring is in a beautiful spot on a fjord, has five pools of slightly different temperatures (though all warm enough for comfort) and pleasnat facilities. An easy distance from Reykjavik, if you want an Icelandic Hot Spring experience this should be it.
