The Icelandic Seal Centre offers fascinating exhibits about marine mammals and guided tours to nearby seal colonies. Explore the charming harbour area with its colourful fishing boats before heading to Vatnsnes Peninsula for remarkable seal watching opportunities.

I'm not sure I want to share this tip because it's such a perfectly kept secret, but in the teeny, remote "town" of Reykir (there's really almost nothing there), is a little hostel that was nearly empty while I was there. Behind the hostel are two natural hot spring-fed pools on the edge of the ocean. Really basic accommodation, but there's a full kitchen and the pools are worth the stay. This is where I first saw the northern lights! #iceland #northernlights #hostel #hotspring
