Akranes Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

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

We love this hotel because the rooms are always spacious and comfortable, every building is in a convenient area, and the staff is very accommodating. The breakfast is worth the expense as it not only gives you enough to start your day, but leftover for late snacking after being out all day.

Very expensive it’s not worth to go and nothing to do

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
