Guide Prices from the operators’ own booking systems

The drive, the cars, and a driver who can wait while you bathe.

Hvammsvík Hot Springs is in a fjord on the west coast, about 45 minutes’ drive from Reykjavík. Icelimo describe eight geothermal pools at different temperatures, a steam bath, a way straight into the sea and a bistro on site.

Without a hire car, a private transfer is the simplest way there. Admission is not included, and Icelimo recommend booking your entry before the car.
