Activities, attractions and tours

This beautiful waterfall is a hard climb but so worth the beauty at the top. Biggest tip i can advise is always bring some water and snacks because the elevation is high and the lack of civilization makes it difficult to get more water. #LifeAtExpediagroup
#OnTheRoad from Kirkjufell to Reykjavik, we were granted with one rainbow after the other. This road trip on road #1 was the best ever and we would go back in a heartbeat!
Double rainbow!
If you take the long way from Reykjavík to Borgarnes, you can pull off and make a couple hour hike up to Iceland's second tallest waterfall, Glymur. #waterfall #iceland #hiking
On the top of Mt. Þúfufell, it was a little bit windy there today 🐶
