Hofn Swimming Pool

Reviewed By Jennifer B - Richmond, United States

We visited the Hofn pool early evening on a cool drizzling day. We hesitated because let's be honest, it's hard to get in your bathing suit and go into a pool when it's cold outside. It was well worth it. The water slides were fun (even for 45 year olds) and there were multiple hot tubs at different temperatures, a lap pool, and a ice bath. We went in each and had a wonderful time. The showers and locker room are very clean. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed By Ong M - Singapore, Singapore

The visitor centre has 3 floors: First floor is just toilets and storage lockers, second floor is the visitor centre with brochures and staff to answer your questions, as well as a small exhibition on the second and third floors. Interesting exhibition on the history...MoreDear Ong M Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! Hope the rest of your travel was nice! Best regards, Steinunn Hödd

Hoffellsjokull Glacier

Reviewed By gatortunor - Clemmons, North Carolina

If you want a unique experience, take a little time to visit Hoffellsjokull Glacier. While it is off the beaten path, its remote location just adds to the aura of the glacier field. Be sure to take the walks and paths located at the base of the glacier.

its a place where all landscape photographer will definitely love where the mountain meet the black sand sea and the sea itself. I took so many pictures of the mountain and did a timelapse of the clouds movement with the sea as the foreground.

The Thorbergur center

The Thórbergur center is a cultural center with an exhibition dedicated to the great writer Thórbergur Thórdarson (1888 - 1974) ) who grew up on the farm Hali. This unique exhibition takes you on an enriching journey through the life and thoughts of one of Iceland's most original 20th century thinkers and writers.

Reviewed By Jason M - Kenosha, Wisconsin

This is a nice small museum full of information... especially if you are completely unfamiliar with the author (as I was). One of the neater exhibits was the replica of the farmhouse - you can really appreciate their hard life when you step inside. If you have the chance, grab a piece of cake - it's delicious.
