Most people visit the Blue Lagoon… but THIS hot

Most people visit the Blue Lagoon… but THIS hot spring is 100% natural and FREE!

Just a short drive from the capital, Reykjadalur is an incredible trail in Hveragerði, surrounded by stunning mountain views.

The hike to the river has an uphill in some parts, but anything worth seeing takes a little effort, amiright?!

There’s also a waterfall (Djúpagilsfoss) and some fantastic photo ops along the way - bonus! 😍

Once you reach the top…

There it is! 🙌

A geothermal river waiting for you, tucked away in the mountains.

No staff or gift shops in sight - just pure Icelandic nature. It doesn’t get much better than this!

So, let’s make a pro list, shall we?

✅ Hiking AND a waterfall? IMMEDIATELY YES!
✅ It’s 40-minutes from Reykjavík - perfect for a day trip!
✅ It’s FREE.
✅ Soak in a geothermal river in Iceland, in the middle of the mountains….

Okay, what MORE could you ask for?!

If you’re planning a trip to Iceland, don’t 👏miss👏 this 👏spot!

Want the inside scoop on grocery shopping in Icela

Want the inside scoop on grocery shopping in Iceland? 👇🏼

In a few words: tiny portions, fewer chemicals, and food that goes bad fast!⚡️

It’s a world of a difference from the U.S. where everything comes in mega-sizes and our food stays fresh longer (thanks to preservatives 😅)

The good news?

While your food might spoil quicker, you can honestly taste the difference in quality!

Icelanders pride themselves on having FRESH ingredients, and boy oh boy do they deliver!

Let me know in the comments…

Did you notice how cute and tiny everything all of the grocery store items were when you visited Iceland? 😂

Here’s how to avoid paying double for Iceland ho

Here’s how to avoid paying double for Iceland hotels and tours during high season… 💸🇮🇸

If you’re planning a summer trip to Iceland, the best time to book was three months ago.

The second-best time?

Today!

High season hits hard here. Hotels, guesthouses, tours — even Airbnbs — fill up months in advance, especially in those charming small towns with limited options. Wait too long, and you’ll either overpay 💰 or end up miles away from where you actually want to be 😬

If you haven’t found the time to book yet, I get it. Planning a trip to Iceland can feel super overwhelming! 😪

Between figuring out the perfect route, timing each stop, and deciding where to stay, booking accommodations often gets pushed to the bottom of the list… until it’s too late.

That’s exactly why I created my Iceland Maps + Guidebooks 🗺️

They highlight the best spots, how long to spend at each stop, and give you all the info you need — from hidden gems to hand-picked accommodations — so you can craft the perfect route AND book early without the stress! 💪🏼

In Iceland, you’ve gotta strip before you dip 🚿

Yes, you heard that right - naked, communal showers are a thing in Iceland.

It’s all about making sure the cherished pools stay clean and uncontaminated 🧼

Feeling shy? Don’t worry, it’s totally normal there, and privacy options are available at the most popular hot springs and pools.

But at the smaller, more local spots, you might just need to bare it all 😉

What do you think - too bold or brilliant for cleanliness? Share your thoughts below! 😅👇🏼
