Late September Trip

"Make sure to get a photo of the rainbow street with the church in the background."

"Overall a very nice lagoon. The sauna there is quite nice with a clear ocean view and there is a cold tub right before it."

"One of the best affordable restaurants in Reykjavik. The burgers there are amazing."

"Don't miss the big one when it erupts."

"Sometimes there are horses around it that you can go close to."

"I would probably swap this one for https://www.myiceland.is/places/hrunalaug. It's a natural pool close by. Sky Lagoon and Blue Lagoon are already very good lagoons in this trip."

"Last eruption was in 2025 but lava is building underneath it still."

"Make reservations early. It sells out weeks in advance."

"Top floor has two nice hot tubs, one pretty warm. Then there is a small wood sauna right before you walk down the stairs to the other hot tubs. On ground floor there is a steambath and a you have to try the cold plunge next to it!"

"A must to walk behind this waterfall. You might get a bit wet though."

"One of the best secret waterfalls in Iceland."

"Just an FYI if you climb the stairs to the top and have energy, keep walking 20–30 min up the river trail. There's a whole chain of waterfalls up there that almost nobody visits. Turn around whenever, same trail back. You can view all the waterfalls here: https://www.myiceland.is/places/skogafoss/waterfalls"

"This waterfall is often missed and it's only a few minutes driving from Skógafoss. You can walk behind it just like Seljalandsfoss."

"Don't go too close to the water — serious accidents have happened here. The waves come in really fast and strong when you least expect them. Note: the beach was reshaped by storms and erosion in Feb 2026, so there's less sand than in older photos — follow the warning lights at the entrance."

"May as well see this one also on the way back since it's quite amazing."

"Various shapes of ice bergs visible on this beach."

"Amazing spot for sunrise. Sunrise is somewhere between 7:00AM - 7:10AM in late September. Depending on weather move this to previous day sunset."

"If running late, grab Almar bakarí instead"
