Into the Heart of Iceland: Three Self Guided Iceland Adventures
Activities: We hopped in and out of different hot pools on a road trip around the Western Fjords. We sat in a hot pool by the sea in Drangsnes, ran naked across a field and jumped in a natural spring bubbling up in a field at Heydalur, tried to swim lengths in a large geothermally heated swimming pool at Reykjanes, and plunged in next to a wizard’s hut at Laugarholl
Highlights: The kids loved the variety of hot pools and the chance to experience the unique Icelandic culture. We all enjoyed the relaxation and the stunning scenery ✨
