The park is ideal for a challenging walk or hike, and is also great for observing wildlife or bird watching. The area can also be explored by car, by bicycle or on horseback. The fishing villages along this part of the coast provide a fascinating glimpse of Iceland??™s seafaring history. At Gufuskálar there are shacks where, in the past, fish were dried for export. Tours of the Hellissandur freezing plant provide an insight into modern Iceland??™s key industry. Both Ólafsvík and Hellissandur have maritime museums. The museum at Hellissandur is located in a reconstruction of an old seaman??™s shack, as was used for centuries in this region. There are many fascinating places of interest within easy reach of the hotel. Extinct volcanoes can be seen in Rauðhóll, Saxhólar, Öndverdarneshólar and Purkhólar. Caves can be found in the lava fields at Eyvindarhólar, Brugghellir, Sönghellir at Arnarstapi, and at Saxhóll and Purkhólar.

Djúpalónssandur is an easy walk from the road, while Dritvík is another 15 minutes??™ walk away, along the coast.
