Black sand beach

Iceland’s Black Sand Beach, Reynisfjara, is famous for its black volcanic sand and impressive rock formations. It is a must-see spot for anyone visiting Iceland, but be careful!

Drive into the highlands!

We rented a 4x4, which allowed us to explore the Icelandic highlands that would have been impossible to reach otherwise. Driving through this stunning, untouched landscape felt like being in a movie, with beauty all around and hardly any tourists in sight.

Next stop: ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir

The Ion Adventure Hotel is set in a stunning location surrounded by Iceland's wild beauty, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the highlands. After hours of driving and hiking, we relaxed in the hotel's extraordinary pool and spa, soaking in the warm water while taking in the breathtaking views of the landscape.
