Great planning and pacing for the trip. Noga...

Iceland | Jun 16 - Jun 25, 2026

Not my favorite hotel. Felt like a Holiday Inn plunked into Iceland. Charged to use hot tub. It was clean and OK, but not worth going out of your way for

Very convenient to the ring road. Not a fancy hotel, the room was basic but clean. Breakfast buffet had lots of options and really good quality.

Such a beautiful and charming hotel. Fabulous views from the warm and inviting common spaces. Felt like you were in nature all the time. Had adorable mama sheep and babies sitting under our winder, saw a seal in the water from our hotel room.

Fantastic hotel. Outdoor hottubs, sauna and cold plunge pond were amazing and really integrated into the life of the hotel. Visually pleasing, the style and turf roof blend into the landscape beautifully. Very very lovely place to stay - and close to the glacier lagoon.

It was just my sister and me with a lovely guide. Very personal approach to us and to the ponies. You can see how much the people there love their ponies. Superinteresting to see the hot spring that heats the houses, the stable and bakes the bread. We really enjoyed our time there!

We had perfect sunny weather - so that was lucky! Learning the story of the 1971 volcanic eruption at Eldheimer was a real high point of the trip. We particularly enjoyed the learning more the social and human history of the island - to go along with all the geologic wonder. I think a trip to the island is not complete without a visit to this museum. Also ferry runs on electricty - it was superinterested to see how the ferry charges and to appreciate the lack of deisel fumes and the quiet of the ferry. So that was really cool for us. We did see puffins at the puffin look out and that was great too.

Incredible! I loved the walk out to the volcano, so we had time to reallly be present in the landscape and take in the wonder of it all. The pace of the trip was perfect. Going down into the volcano was amazing - again great pacing. Time to really be in the place and not feel rushed. Staff were kind, informative and relaxed. Soup was delicious!

Natural wonder! Amazing to see. We booked a 1.5 hour kayak experience on our own. That was a fabulous way to be quiet on the water, see the glacial ice and be quiet. I really appreciated being in a silent mode of transportation. It was easy to book Kayak trip the day before we arrived and could easily be booked day of.

We never would have found this place without Noga pointing it out. So understated. This was the most beautiful hot spring location. Highly recommend the smaller pools closer to the beach - don’t just stay at the big pool near the bar - it’s OK, but the real joy is in the other pools and then cold plunge in the fjord.
