This beautiful waterfall is a hard climb but so worth the beauty at the top. Biggest tip i can advise is always bring some water and snacks because the elevation is high and the lack of civilization makes it difficult to get more water. #LifeAtExpediagroup

#OnTheRoad from Kirkjufell to Reykjavik, we were granted with one rainbow after the other. This road trip on road #1 was the best ever and we would go back in a heartbeat!
Double rainbow!
If you take the long way from Reykjavík to Borgarnes, you can pull off and make a couple hour hike up to Iceland's second tallest waterfall, Glymur. #waterfall #iceland #hiking

Popular day trips from Hvalfjarðarsveit

Iceland Norther Lights Panorama

Borgarnes

Seeing Aurora Borealis should be on everyones #bucketlist, it is one of the craziest phenomena I have ever witnessed. Visiting Iceland you have a window of time to see the #northernlights dance across the sky, out of our 10 day trip we were lucky enough to see them in their full glory on the last night. This campsite was a great place to stay and explore the nearby areas while watching the lights. #lifeatexpediagroup

Akranes

This is one of my favorite pictures from Iceland. We were just traveling down the road and decided to stop and stretch our legs once we crossed the bridge. Beautiful country. 11/20/19

Kjósarhreppur

First day of my first visit to Iceland, after a bleary-eyed 48 hour travel fiasco, we did the Golden Circle tour and stopped at Þingvellir National Park.
