- 1957Ottawa, Canada660 contributionsPart of our organized tour , we visited this fountain- type geyser located i a geothermal area. It is beside the Hvita River , southwest part of Iceland, east of the capital Reykjavík . You walk on the pathway , and not too close, the smell of sulphur is definitely in the air. There is no set cycle to the stream geyser eruption. It can sprouts as high as 30 meters high in the air every few minutes.Written 2 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hannelore HUnited Kingdom245 contributionsIt is quite a unique natural landmark with imposing colours and beautiful surrounding landscapes. It is not huge though, more of a nice short walk up and around it.Written 10 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This ended up being a highlight of the trip as there was no one there between me and my companion, and we tasted all the beers in which we were interested, got a tour of the brew room, and even tasted a new beer right from the fermentation tank. They loaded us up with swag and more beer than we could actually carry, which we ended up sharing that evening with our nearby B&B owners. I can't say you'll have the same experience we did, but the people are friendly and there's a wide range of quality beers (even for a US beer snob). A bit out of the way, but definitely worth a visit if you're in the Selfoss area.Written 19 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EdwelshNorth Canton, OH4,508 contributionsThis quaint cathedral in the tiny village of Skálholt, considered to be Iceland's first town, is a gem. Gorgeous church in a amazing setting, with a history museum in the basement is definitely worth a visit. Just reading the names and dates on the walls was fascinating, but then to read the stories of how these people moved these huge burial stones 30 miles over the land in winter by hand. Wow! Right next door is a hotel with easy access to restrooms.Written 8 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- billbevan01Sheffield, UK104 contributionsWe have been here every evening of our visit. There are a variety of swimming pools for serious swimmers and playing as well as a range of different temperature hot tubs, a steam room and sauna. Tickets are over 1000kr an adult but you can buy 10 for just over 4000kr which makes it great value if you’re staying in Selfoss. Children 10 and under are free! Also a great place to see Icelandic culture, and for kids to meet Icelandic children.Written 29 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A must experience!Written 11 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Nat WSingapore, Singapore124 contributionsWest Iceland was voted one of Lonely Planet’s best destinations. The Grabrok volcano crater with lunar like lava marks is a spectacular sight. One has to be fit to scale the 1.5 km hike up with most gradients at 45 degrees. Fortunately, the stair pathway was very well constructed. Thank God, we made it!👏Written 7 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
