Travel Guide

A fishing and whale watching boat tour that lasted about an hour in a bay near a small Icelandic fishing down. Humpback whale, got within about 60 feet of it. #Adventure

Something about this spot, didn't seem like Iceland ?
So we were driving North in search of Puffins, instead we found this restaurant that had desserts to die for! To get to this town, we drove 5 hours north of Reykjavik... the owner told us that you can see whales from the windows... it wasn't whale season when we went.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (109 reviews)
Great location, near restaurants and with great views of the water. Hotel manager was very friendly and helpful with our bags. We used the hot tub and sauna - both were well maintained. Good breakfast. Room was small for 2 people but very comfortable. Highly recommend!

A nice hotel conveniently located near restaurants, groceries, and the harbor. Wonderfully friendly staff. Large rooms with private baths. I didn't pay for the breakfast because it was ridiculously expensive for what is offered, so don't know if it is good. Overall, a nice hotel in a lovely ...

Amazing location
Amazing, remote location. Cabin was tiny and rustic. Loved the beautiful area and empty beach. Felt a little like camping but worth it for unique experience.

Loved this area of Iceland. We visited the bird cliffs twice, once early in the morning when very few people had yet arrived. We'd return gladly.
