Description

Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Reykjavík. Board a comfortable minibus and set off on your adventure. Make your first stop at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pull apart. Learn about the original site of Iceland's parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD. Next, head to the Geysir geothermal area, home of Strokkur, which erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water 20 meters into the air. Continue to Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland's 'golden waterfall,' a two-tiered drop into a deep canyon carved by the Hvítá river. Afterward, visit the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Station, one of the world's largest geothermal stations, with a visitor center explaining how Iceland gets approximately 70% of its energy from geothermal sources. Finally, stop at Kerið Crater, a 3,000-year-old volcanic crater lake with deep red walls and turquoise water. Throughout the tour, enjoy authentic local storytelling from your professional Icelandic guide.
