Close by you find the Skogar folk museum. This museum has an outstanding collection of domestic artifacts as well as turf-built houses.

If you do not wish to do the glacier walk the tour continues further south where you can stroll on the black lava beach to see the amazing bird cliffs at Reynisfjara near Vík. After dinner there will be a presentation about the Northern Lights. Hopefully the sky will be clear to admire the mesmerizing Northern lights dancing acros the sky.
