With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Vik I Myrdal, 25 miles away, has to offer. Black Beach should be high up on your list here. Black Sand Beach and Reynisdrangar are fantastic attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Hveragerdi, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Reykjadalur Valley. (But we’re also big fans of Geothermal park and LA Art Museum.)
