Heidmork Nature Reserve

Reviewed By Trav_LN_now - Crystal Lake, United States

The red cliffs at Heidmork Nature Reserve are amazing! The colors of the volcanic remains are just beautiful. Be careful of the horse droppings though, because they are everywhere due to the horse rental tours down the road. A great place to stop and take a hike though without driving too far out of Reykjavik. No charge to enter

Aurora Borealis

Reviewed By gylfig2014 - Reykjavik, Iceland

I had the pleasure to visit the Aurora Centre to see the Northern Lights on huge screen with in-dept information about the Northern Lights. The show included many great video scenes in high definition with music in this very nice setup. I was so lucky to be one of the first customer there and the owner gave me a great photography and location tips as a bonus but it was actually rather cheap experience to visit this place who also offers Aurora related souvenirs and photos at fair prices. It's very tricky to catch the Aurora on photo or video so i really liked the fact that this place offers professional help plus the informative video show that made me just more excited to do my own photos better but this area around Borgarnes is known for a great Aurora photography locations. The only downside i found was the narrow opening time but overall was a small price to pay for positive experience in our expensive country.

We, family of 4 with two young kids, had a great walk in this awesome lava field. Part of the walk is easily accessible, if you want to take the bigger loop it becomes more adventurous. Highly recommended.
