Iceland Southern Hofn

Höfn is an Icelandic fishing town in the south-eastern part of the country, located on a peninsula in the south-east of Iceland near Hornafjörður fjord. Höfn contains several museums, including the exhibition about the Vatnajökulsþjóðgarð in Gamlabúð which has a variety of displays on the geology, ecology and history of the glacier. A cultural highlight of the town is the annual Humarhátíð (lobster festival) held on the first weekend of July. During the summer season, the Glacier Exhibition is held in the old supermarket building.

Famous for its natural beauty, this harbor town is a bustling fishing port, surrounded on three sides by sea.

Your website was a gem to find online. It gave me a sense of what our girls could do on a trip to Spain. Ultimately, your website was the deciding factor on how to accomplish their trip. Your support team was awesome. As we developed a relationship, they were more than helpful. The two times we asked for changes during the trip, customer support was on board to help. It was a good feeling to hear back from them with multiple choices and I never felt like it was a pain for them. Bottom line... we love RoutePerfect.

Your site is easy to navigate and being able to request breakfast and parking was fantastic. Mapping out a route based on where we wanted to visit was easy and we could tweak it so we didn’t have huge distances between locations . Your team is very efficient and they sorted a new hotel that met our requirements when one was unavailable. The hotels were excellent, clean to a high standard, and, staff were friendly.
