This majestic waterfall is a true gem of the Golden Circle and a must-see destination for anyone wanting to enjoy the spectacular beauty of Iceland's natural wonders.

This was a family friendly fishing trip that we did a few years ago. We caught some fish, which were put on the BBQ and we ate as we returned back into port.

How many waterfalls can you go around the back of.

Glacier Lagoon is full of huge lumps of ice slowly and majestically making their way out to sea.

Here's our draft itinerary for visiting Osaka in late January 2026. We haven't been to Osaka before - but know it to be Japan's culinary hotspot, offering a unique mix of tradition and modern living.

When in Reykjavik, set aside some time to experience the wonder of the Sky Lagoon. It is a blissful escape that captures the essence of Iceland and delivers an unforgettable retreat from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Quiet and peaceful.

We discovered this delight of a place by accident whilst taking a different route back from Reykjavik to the cabin that we had rented...

Schedules Review the sailing schedule carefully. Depending on the time of the year the boat may dock in Ålesund all day, alternatively it...

More back to nature than the Blue Lagoon, and less commercial.

Ålesund is a busy town - with a great viewing point if you have the energy and time.

I'd rather have too many options and leave some out if it gets too busy to enjoy. We'll commit or change the plans as we go - booking experiences as we go - buying local when we can, which will leave our itinerary nice and flexible.

As a tourist trap - it's a pretty good one. It is bucket list stuff, and the memory does sit with you a long time. You also get a reference point for other Lagoons and rivers to compare to.

Torvik is only applicable to Port to Port travellers.

If driving along the south coast road - this is an interesting stop to make.
