Tourist Guide

Akranes, Iceland, February 28, 2012: Colorful houses next to the beach with mountains partially obscured by clouds in the background
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

The shared area was lovely. The fridge was a little full, but apart from that, everything else was great. The hot tub is a must! The reception team were also very kind and helpful.

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
