Þingvellir National Park
Our journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll walk through the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Explore the dramatic landscapes, ancient lava fields, and crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure, all while immersing yourself in the rich history of the Icelandic parliament, Alþingi, which was founded here over a thousand years ago.

Geysir Geothermal Area
Next, we venture to the world-famous Geysir Geothermal Area, home to bubbling hot springs, steaming fumaroles, and the powerful Strokkur geyser. Watch in awe as Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending boiling water up to 30 meters into the air, a truly mesmerizing display of nature’s raw power.

Langjökull Glacier
Our journey continues to Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Experience the stunning contrast of white snow and ice against the volcanic terrain as you take in panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. For the more adventurous, optional snowmobile tours or ice cave explorations are available, offering an exhilarating way to experience this icy wonderland.

Prepare to be captivated by the otherworldly beauty of Hveradalir, the geothermal valley nestled in the heart of the Kerlingafjöll mountain range.
