Description

Start with a tour of the Golden Circle in a small group. Visit Þingvellir National Park to walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Then, explore the Geysir geothermal area to watch Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes.

At Gullfoss waterfall, board the Sleipnir Monster Truck and cross Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest ice cap. Your guide shares information on glacier formation, Icelandic highlands, folklore, and geology. The key experience is entering a natural ice cave where blue ice meets volcanic ash, displaying vivid colors and patterns.

Return to Gullfoss for a last close-up view of the waterfall before heading back to Reykjavík.
