Blue Lagoon
Although this is the type of touristy, pricey attraction that I would typically opt to avoid, I would advice against skipping this one if you have the cash to spare. Definitely book online ahead of time to secure a reservation!

Seljavallalaug Swimming Pool
20-30 minutes from Seljalandsfoss - Waterfall is the parking lot... Grab your bathing suit and head up the right! After about 10 minutes you will come to a free, naturally heated pool in the middle of nowhere.

Skógafoss Waterfall
One of the bigger waterfalls in Iceland, Skogafoss is definitely worth a visit. Hike up to the top for the waterfall for some cool aerial views. If you have the time there are also some great hiking trails located above the waterfall.

Sólheimajökulll
Located right outside of Vik, Solheimajokull glacier offers guided ice hikes (at a rather steep price). Unfortunately we didn’t have the time or budget for a guided hike, so instead we simply walked around the base of the glacier on our own.

Solheimasandur Plane Wreck
Located 15 minutes from Vik, this site is a must-see. It is important to note that you can no longer drive to the site, but rather you are required to park in the lot and walk approximately one hour (each way) to the crash site.

Dettifoss
Dettifoss claims the title as the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Awesome to see a waterfall with such power, however I admit it is a bit terrifying as there are no ropes or chains!

Hverir
If you can stand the overwhelming sulfur smell, the geothermal grounds of Hverir are worth a quick stop. Beware though, this is a major tourist stop so you will need to avoid the tour bus hoards!

Húsavík
Husavik is the perfect place to head out on a whale watching tour. We did a tour with the Gentle Giants and we were not disappointed. We were fortunate enough to see multiple humpback whales while on the tour. For lunch you can find some deliciously fresh fish and chips right on the water.

Goðafoss Waterfall
Although you may be sick of waterfalls at this point, Godafoss is probably my favorite one of them all (although it is difficult to choose!)

Thingvellir National Park
Personally I was a bit disappointed by this park as I was given some misinformation about the nature of the tectonic plates. That being said the park has been designated a UNESCO Heritage Site and has some unique geological features. Definitely a nice place to stop for a quick hike!
