Hot Springs

Hot Springs

Iceland is gifted with water and geothermal heat. Together they make hot springs. Some are next to the road, others are well hidden and less known. We will take you to all the best ones!

Not many people know the Icelandic nature and photo spots better than Ása. She is born and raised in Iceland and has probably spent more time on mountains or next to waterfalls than home in Reykjavik. Follow her lead and you will never have a dull day.

Reykjavik - Seljalandsfoss

Pick up your campervan and hit the road. Our first camp site is about 2h drive away but there's plenty to explore on the way. We recommend going for a hot spring hike and visit some waterfalls on the way. It's also a good idea to stock up on some food and drinks for the van.
