Itinerary

Thingvellir National Park

Our first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Here you can:

  • Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates
  • Visit Almannagjá canyon
  • Learn about Iceland’s historic Alþingi parliament

Thingvellir is both geologically and historically significant.

Geysir Geothermal Area

Next, we visit the famous Geysir geothermal field in Haukadalur Valley.

The active Strokkur geyser erupts every 5–10 minutes, sending boiling water up to 30 meters into the air. Steam vents, bubbling mud pools, and mineral-colored hills create an unforgettable landscape.

Gullfoss Waterfall

The powerful Gullfoss, also known as the Golden Falls, is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls.

Fed by the Hvítá glacial river, the waterfall cascades in two dramatic stages into a deep canyon. On sunny days, rainbows often appear in the mist.

Kerið Volcanic Crater

Our final stop is the colorful Kerið crater.
Formed thousands of years ago, this volcanic caldera features:

  • Red volcanic rock
  • Black lava slopes
  • A striking blue crater lake

You can walk along the rim or descend toward the water’s edge. The entrance fee is included in your tour price.
