Question 2

Question 4

Can I visit the village as a day trip from Reykjavik?

Dining options are limited to guesthouse restaurants and a small village store. The Secret Lagoon facility has a small cafe serving drinks and light snacks. For a wider restaurant selection, Selfoss, approximately 30 kilometers southwest, is the nearest town with multiple dining choices.
