  1. Reykjanes: wild part of Iceland with the roaring ocean, high cliffs, geothermal areas and lighthouses (180 USD travel fee). Usually much fewer people than other places.

Locations:

  • Kleifarvatn – pristine lake with black sand
  • Beautiful roads through mountains, along lakes, cliffs and lava fields covered in moss
  • Krysuvik – a geothermal area with boiling mud
  • Blue Lagoon – no introduction needed? There are many paths outside where we can stroll along the beautiful blue water
  • Brimketill a lava rock pool filled with ocean water where trolls used to bath 🙂 But the main attraction are rugged cliffs and soaring waves crashing against them

  • Reyjkanes Lighthouse – charming lighthouse on a small hill
