I found this waterfall by pure chance, and what I then saw was an example there still exist places on this planet that will take your breath away. I believe that the public shouldn't be allowed here because it feels magical in the sense that there is nothing like it on the planet. The masses tend to go to seljalandsfoss but they don't know what they are missing (especially since it's only a 10min walk away) all I'm gonna say is that you will need to walk inside the river up through a canyon approx 20-30mtrs before you get presented with the biggest surprise of your lives. This angelic waterfall falls from the ceiling above you. I can honestly say hand on heart, that of how you don't visit this place you're a fool. At the same time it's better for me so next time I visit, it shall remain less touched/visited by the public. Which is fine by me! If you do go you will need, waterproof footwear at least and depending on how close to the fall you wanna go, a rain jacket too. You guys can thank me later. Your welcome

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!

7. Icelandic Lava Show
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 537 reviews
The only show in the world where you can safely experience red-hot lava in close proximity, see it flowing, hear it sizzling, and feel the heat that radiates from it. Shows every day at 13:30 and 17:00. An intimate and thrilling one-of-a-kind experience that is unlike anything you've ever experienced. A must see if you're ever in Vík.

As a travel professional I’m always excited to see new attractions enter the market. The Icelandic lava show was for me a perfect experience and I highly reccommend it to any local or traveller passing through Vik. They have successfully created a show that links Iceland’s geology to our stunning volcanic history and doing so while maintaining a highly personal touch telling the story of the founders great grandfather during an eruption of Katla. The show is operated by the co-founder Julius who is an excellent storyteller. He started this venture with his wife and gives the audience a great insight into the preparation process of pouring molten lava into a room full of people. The show continues with a video telling the story of Katla and explaining volcanos in more detail. Eventually lava flows in the room followed by a highly educational presentation by the founder. At the end the lava is broken into pieces and kids in the audience can get a closer look. Intriguing, interresting, different and a highly entertaining attraction that I reccommend to everyone.

I learned a lot at the Skogar museum. It is a very informative and detailed museum about the daily live in the early days, about transportation and communication. It is an extensive museum, both inside and outside. Certainly worth a visit.
