Itinerary: 

Day 1: Highlands of Iceland.

Your journey to the Highlands of Iceland starts here. This trip will take you to the natural jewel of Iceland, the Landmannalaugar geothermal area.

Going towards the center of the Highlands we will pass the most active volcano in Iceland, Mount Hekla, and then explore the stunning crater lakes in the area, such as Ljótipollur (The Ugly Pond), and Frostastadavatn (lake of the frosty place).

Once we reach the center of the Highlands, you can choose whether to try one of the many beautiful hike trails or relax in the natural geothermal hot springs of Laundmannalaugar.

Before heading back to the hotel, we will make one more stop at a secret waterfall, þjofafoss.

Day 2: Thorsmork. 

The adventure continues as we head into the “Valley of Thor” Þórsmörk – crossing the rivers several times along the way.

We mark the first stop at Nauthusagil waterfall, a secluded but worthwhile highlight of the day before we drive further to the Stakkholtsgjá Canyon. Here, we can take a hike to explore the volcanic and glacial surroundings and check out the amazing views.

Next on the itinerary is the Basar, where we can enjoy the calm serenity of raw nature.

At the end of the day, we will return to the hotel to rest up for the following leg of the trip

Day 3: Golden Circle.

Þingvellir National Park. We visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and the Eurasian plates, are moving away from each other. Few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life. Thingvellir is also an important place in Icelandic national history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d. where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer. The name “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”.

Geysir Geothermal Area. The Geysir geothermal area hosts hundreds of colorful hot springs and two geysers, erupting hot springs. One is called “Geysir” and name giving for all the geysers in the world. Today, however, it erupts very seldom. The other geyser is called “Strokkur” and erupts every 5 minutes up to 40 meters.

Gullfoss Waterfall. The melting water from Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull, falls into a deep canyon forming the majestic “Golden Falls”. On a sunny day, you can see the glacier Langjökull in the distance and enjoy a rainbow amid the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to happen!
