What people say

" This is a very powerful hot spring. The temperature of the water at its source is 97° C and the flow rate is 180 litres per second. Grjótagjá – Norðurland Eystra is a small lava cave with a thermal spring and hot lake inside it. Earlier the luke warm water in this cave was suitable for bathing, but between 1975 and 1984 the temperature of water increased until it exceeded 50° C. Deildartunguhver is Europe’s most powerful hot spring. It provides 180 l/sec of 100°C hot water. Most of the water used for central heating in the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes is taken from Deildartunguhver. The hot water pipeline to Akranes is 64 km long, the longest in Iceland and the water is about 78 – 80 degrees when it reaches Akranes. If you take a shower anywhere within a 65 km radius of the spring, you have already bathed in the hot water the spring with the highest flow rate in all of Europe."

Iceland is a beautiful place to visit year-round, with the activities changing depending on the time of year you choose to visit. The warmer months are fun to explore this country because the summer sun creates a never-ending amount of time for adventures, seeing the puffin community, and hitting all the must-sees while not worrying about snow. This guide will give you the best places to hit in town and around the island whether you are planning for day trip excursions, road-tripping around Ring Road, or sticking to one section. This is the list of can't-miss things and places while visiting! The list below is packed with many options on how to plan for a summer trip to Iceland. First and foremost, you will not be able to see everything on this list if you are going for a week or less, and you will have to make peace with that and get excited to come back. There is so much to do on this island, make sure to give yourself plenty of time for traveling between places and exploring. There are plenty of random pull-offs to explore that might sidetrack from the original plan. Below are tours and activity options to participate in - my suggestion would be to pick 1 or 2 that you are most interested in and make sure to book those. I have been here several times and there is never a shortage of things to do. If you are looking for a more involved list custom to your desires for the best trip to Iceland, I also offer consultations 1-on-1 to help build the itinerary you desire.
