We skippes the tourist pools and came here for a fifth of the cost for the same quality. Several warm water pools and hot tubs of varying temperature. Plenty of space and right in Selfoss. A bigger slide and smaller slides for kids. Our kids LOVED this pool. So glad we came here over the much more expensive pools advertised to tourists. No packed pools here! Just tons of fun!

It's absolutely fascinating watching and learning about the process of harnassing geo-thermal power. The site and attraction are well worth the time!
7. Kerid Crater

We stumbled upon Kerid volcanic crater while self-driving the Golden Circle and are pleased that we did - colours of the surrounds and the water were sensational. If the weather had been kinder and our timetable had allowed I’d have loved to walk the rim and the lake, both of which are possible and allow amazingly different views. Kerid is about 3,000 years old (half as old as most volcanos in Iceland) which is why - or so I have been led to believe - the iron deposits are still such a rich red rather than blackened. Really crimson, even on our cloudy day. Parking was free, 400Kr entrance fee, which was completely worth it.
