Just getting into a hot pot is a great thing to do in Iceland. The swimming pool in Dalvik is well maintained and clean, and the staff is very friendly. Having several hot pots with different temperatures and actual swimming lanes everyone will find the right thing to do to enjoy himself.

Tvistur Horse Rental

Reviewed By ScottishLass3004

I have done quite a few trips on horse back in the past but this one was special. I have never felt as comfortable and welcome. The ponies were great, well trained and very well looked after. You could tell they enjoy life. You could also tell that our guide loves his animals and treats them accordingly. He arranged our visit very short notice and only charged us for an hour despite us being out and about for well more than that. The scenery was astonishing, we rode through snow, rivers and fields. Best day ever for me and my friend. We would highly recommend both our guide as well as the ponies. Great for beginners as well as advanced riders.

The moment I found out about this I added it to our trip itinerary. We were driving the entire ring road anyways, what's a little detour? We showed up early as is recommended, checked in, and where given our robes. We showered and went for the outdoor hot tubs and sauna which were a welcome break as our average daily temps were quite cold thus far in our trip. Once summoned my wife and I were taken to our room (clothing optional btw) where a spacious beer wort filled tub awaited with two glasses and a tap ready for the imbibing. After the relaxing soak we were guided upstairs to the relaxation station where we were laid down and swaddled in soft cloths while listening to soothing sounds in the background. I promptly passed out. After heading back downstairs and dressing we decided to have another pint from the bar which led to us having dinner there. The meal was amazing as was the service. I highly recommend trying the horse steak. It was amazing. Our hostess Urđur was so friendly and had great recommendations for our meal and for the rest of our trip.
