What to expect

Reykjadalur Hot Spring River is a unique destination where visitors can bathe in a warm river surrounded by stunning natural scenery. The hike to the river is approximately 3 km one way and takes about 45-60 minutes, with plenty of photo stops along the way. The trail is relatively easy, but there is one spot that may be challenging for those afraid of heights. The valley is filled with hot springs and mud pools, and the scenery is breathtaking. Visitors can soak in the hot river, explore the surrounding area, and enjoy the beautiful views. It's a great place to visit with family and friends, but be aware that there are no dressing rooms, restrooms, or personnel on site, so visitors should be prepared and respectful of the natural environment

This family's experience:

Activities: We hiked to the warm river Reykjadalur. We enjoyed the hike, which started with a hot spring. We reached the river and enjoyed the warm water. Flo and Ben took the opportunity to change behind one of the partitions and quickly got into the pleasantly warm water

Highlights: Flo and Ben loved soaking in the warm river. They enjoyed the feeling of being "warm-cooked". The hike was a great adventure in both summer and winter. "It snowed very heavily, which made it all the more cozy in the hot river." ✨
