Hoffell Glacier Lagoon & Hot Tubs
Hoffell
A small glacier lagoon and geothermal hot pots just north of Höfn, where icebergs drift on the water and you can soak in outdoor hot pools while gazing at the glacier.
Hoffell lies about 20 km northwest of Höfn. Once you turn onto a gravel road, you can reach the moraine lagoon in front of the Hoffell Glacier. Icebergs often float on the lagoon, and it sees few visitors. Next to the farm are several small outdoor hot pools fed by geothermal water. They are self-service, with payment by coin or QR code (around ISK 2,000). The facilities are basic, with simple changing rooms. In the evening you can soak while looking out at the glacier, and on clear winter nights there is a chance to see the Northern Lights. The moraine road is bumpy, so an SUV is recommended.
Opening hours
Soaking pools approx. 09:00–22:00
