Vik, Vík í Mýrdal

Book your ice cave tour in advance to secure your spot.

Historically, Vik had no harbor, so be aware that provisions used to arrive by boat before the road was built.

Be prepared for a bumpy ride if you're taking a Super Jeep to the ice cave.

Consider visiting the black beach for a sunset; it's a beautiful sight.

Be prepared for the weather; it can get quite cold and wet, especially if you're visiting the waterfalls nearby.

Be cautious of the black sand beaches; the waves can be dangerous, and it's advised not to turn your back on the water.

Try to find less crowded spots on the beach for a more peaceful experience.

Consider Vik as a practical pit stop; it may not have much to offer but is a good place to rest.

The village is small, so plan your visit to explore the few houses and the iconic white church on the hill.

Make sure to visit the Red Roof church for a great view, but plan your visit early as we didn't make it there until the next morning.
