Highlights

Put the ice in Iceland with this trip to Langjökull glacier, the second largest glacier in Iceland. On this tour, your guide won't just take you to see Langjökull — you'll go inside it! Traveling by a modified glacier vehicle over the ice, explore the tunnels carved into the glacier -a true feat of engineering- and gawk at the ethereal blue glow of the ice. Learn about Iceland's history, geology, and glaciers that define much of the country's beauty from your expert guide. See crevasses an ice like never before on this once-in-a-lifetime experience. This day tour from Reykjavík includes stops at Deildartunguhver -the most powerful hot spring in Europe- and Hraunfossar, a beautiful waterfall with icy blue water flowing right from the glacier we will visit!

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.

Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
