Truly endless things to do and see in Iceland but here are a few favorites to check out for your first trip ➡️
📍 Kirkjufell
STUNNING mountain on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Very short hike to this view from the parking
📍Fjöruhúsið Cafe
A must stop cliff side cafe also on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula
📍 Kerið Crater
East hike around the crater with great views the whole way
📍 Sólheimajökull Glacier
You can either walk up to the view point of the actual glacier trail (as shown), or can hike the glacier with appropriate equipment
📍 Seljalandsfoss Waterfall
One of our favorite waterfalls in Iceland
📍 Black Sand Beach, Vik
Such a unique, otherworldly setting. Our toddler played in the sand here for hours
📍 Westman Islands
Ferry out to the Westman Islands to see puffins (my favorite!!)
📍 Hallgrímskirkja Church, Reykjavik
View from the observation deck is incredible
📍 Gullfoss Waterfall
You will get wet and battle crowds, but it was worth it x100
📍 Strokkur Geyser
Iceland's most active geyser, shooting water nearly 100 ft into the air
📍 Efstidalur II
A family run dairy farm off the Golden Circle with delicious fresh food
