Itinerary
Our adventure begins at Þingvellir National Park, a site of great beauty and national significance. Here, you will enjoy views of Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland and one of only two places globally where you can witness tectonic plates slowly drifting apart. This location was home to Alþingi, the world’s oldest parliament, where Icelanders gathered from 930 AD to 1799 AD to deliberate on important matters.
Next, we’ll visit Gullfoss, or the "Golden Waterfall," one of Iceland’s most famous landmarks. Witness the spectacular cascades of the Hvítá River as it flows from the Langjökull Glacier through a stunning canyon, creating an unforgettable scene. Your guide will share the inspiring story of how a young local woman fought to protect this natural treasure in the early 1900s.
In this geothermal hotspot, known to locals for centuries, we’ll marvel at the Strokkur geyser, which erupts hot water up to 50 meters high! You’ll also learn about the historical significance of Viking wrestling in the area.
We’ll finish our tour with a walk around the edge of the Kerið volcano crater, which is 250 meters wide and 50 meters deep. Rest assured, its last eruption was 6,500 years ago, leaving us with this stunning red crater to enjoy. Your guide will discuss the impact of volcanoes on Icelandic tourism and their role in the island’s sparkling beverage industry.

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.
