Itinerary
Thingvellir National Park is one of Iceland’s most important historical and geological sites. Here, travelers can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and learn about Alþingi, Iceland’s historic parliament, founded in 930. The stop also offers excellent views across the rift valley and surrounding landscape.
Known around the world for its power and beauty, Geysir gave its name to geysers everywhere. Nearby, the highly active Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending hot water up to 30 metres into the air. You will also have time in the Geysir area to purchase lunch, refreshments or snacks.
Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls. The powerful Hvítá River plunges in two stages into a dramatic canyon, creating impressive views from several nearby viewing platforms. Travelers will have time to walk to the main viewpoints and experience the waterfall up close.
Friðheimar Tomato Farm offers a unique look at Icelandic greenhouse farming, where tomatoes are grown year-round using geothermal energy. Travelers can visit the greenhouse, learn about the sustainable growing process, and enjoy the distinctive atmosphere among the tomato plants. Depending on the tour arrangements and available time, guests may also purchase lunch, drinks, or refreshments at the farm’s restaurant.
Kerið is a striking volcanic crater lake formed around 6,500 years ago. Travelers can view the vivid red volcanic slopes and blue-green lake from the rim, with the option to walk partway around the crater or descend toward the water, depending on conditions and available time.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.
The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
