It is no problem to sail out to Hrísey from Árskógssandur (10 min drive from Dalvík) and spend time there in the beautiful nature and birdlife. The sailing is only 15 minutes, so you can come back the same day if you wish. On Árskógssandur, there is also The Beer Spa and Kaldi Brewery.
The nearest village south of Árskógssandur is Hauganes, with its charming hot tubs on the beach, whale-watching tours and an excellent restaurant.
