We leave Reykjavík and head west through the countryside towards Borgarfjörður Valley, a region shaped by geothermal energy, rivers and lava fields. We will stop at Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful Hot Spring where steam rises steadily from the ground. Afterwards, we will head to Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, both part of the same River system. At Hraunfossar, the cold spring water emerges from beneath a wide lava field and flows into the Hvítá River, a formation created by volcanic activity over 1,000 years ago. A short walk upstream leads to Barnafoss, where the river narrows between rock formations. This sight is also known for its own tragic tale, which adds to the atmosphere of the area. Our journey than takes us to Húsafell, a quiet area near the highlands. From here, we join the Into the Glacier tour, a guided excursion into a man made ice tunnel inside Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier. Specially equipped vehicles bring us up onto the ice, where we explore the glacier from within. Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Today’s adventure starts at Hvammsvík Hot Springs, located in Hvalfjörður, where geothermal pools meet the sea. After a rejuvenating soak, we continue towards the Golden Circle. Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is where Iceland’s parliament was established in 930 A.D., making it the oldest in the world. The sight lies between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, clearly visible in the landscape. We then continue to Laugarvatn Fontana, where traditional rye bread is baked using geothermal heat. After learning about this method, we taste the bread while it is still warm. Our journey continues to Friðheimar Geothermal Greenhouse & Horse Stables. Here, we learn about greenhouse farming powered by geothermal energy and meet the Icelandic Horse.

The crater is about 55 metres deep and features a small lake at its base with steep slopes of red volcanic rock surrounding it. From there, we head to Reykjanes Peninsula, which is known for its geological activity. The area is shaped by volcanic forces with dramatic fissures, bubbling Hot Springs and vast lava fields creating a unique landscape. Our first stop is at the Bridge Between Continents, which lies on one of the world’s largest plate boundaries between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. We continue to Reykjanesviti, Iceland’s oldest Lighthouse. It offers sweeping views of the rugged coastline and surrounding landscapes, standing as a testament to Iceland’s Maritime Heritage.
