Activity Reviews
West Iceland

Borgarnes

Snaefelles National park was fantastic. We had a great weather day for the drive around the peninsula.

Quality of Experience
Food
Both meals; at Englendingavik, and Bara Olstofa were excellent.
Transport
B59 hotel was adequate but not special. Clean, but run more like a youth hostel ( one of the floors) than a full service hotel. Many things in the room had mechanical or design problems - all small, but irritating.

Vík

Great jumping off point for multiple day trips. Town is cute as a button and has a gigantic Icewear store.

Food
The Brewhouse was surprisingly great. Good selection of craft beer made on the premises and delicious food choices.

Didn’t get to do - hurricane force winds forced cancellation. The lagoon itself is a “ don’t miss” activity. Looked like it would have been fun

Unbelievable. Really fun - we had perfect weather. Drive up and back in giant truck on extreme road was almost as fun as the snowmobiling. Had the glacier all to ourselves - beautiful pictures

In retrospect, probably could have travelled directly from Westmann island tour back to Reykjavik, rather than returning to Vik and the retracing our steps the next day.
