Bakkaböðin... two hot tubs located in Kopasker, Northeast Iceland. The hot tubs are open to the public and are located just a footstep away from the beach.
The sea here is shallow and safe for those who are brave enough to dip their toes in the sea.

Summer is still here and the coastguard "Landhelgisgæslan" has come into port this morning.
The view from the hot tub changes so many times during the day you never know what you will see.
Come and visit us and experience the slower pace of life that Iceland has to offer.

Rauðanes is one of the most beautiful places you can visit within a 40 minute drive of us.
It's also the playground of thousands of puffins and other birds.
The whole walk takes 3 hrs from the parking spot but you can also just walk for 20 minutes to appreciate the beauty of this place and see some puffins....you may be lucky and spot some whales out in Þistilfjörður...a tip...it's so quiet here that you will hear the whales come to the surface and exhales ...you will hear the blow long before you spot them.
Come and experience this spectacular scenery for yourself..visit the hot tubs, come for coffee , cake or waffles....maybe even stay a night at the guesthouse on your way to or from this beautiful place.
Book direct at www.melarguesthouse.is for the best prices.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.
