Thingvellir National Park

One of the most remarkable natural wonders in the world is located at Thingvellir National Park, where visitors can witness the results of two drifting tectonic plates: the  North American and Eurasian one; few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The national park is also home to Iceland's largest natural lake, and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life, reason why it is often referred to as “The Galapagos of the North”! Thingvellir is steeped in Icelandic national history, serving as the site where the parliament was first established in 930 AD. “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”. This makes the park an essential destination for those interested in Icelandic culture and history.

Traditional Dairy Farm and Free Ice Cream

After the stop at the National park, we head towards the Efstidalur farm, which has been family-owned since 1850. This Icelandic family-run business sticks to traditional farming culture, with a primary focus on cows and cattle breeding. Savor the farm-to-table dairy and food products while taking in the breathtaking mountain view. You will also taste their delicious handmade ice cream, while observing the friendly animals relaxing in their stables, through wide glasses.

Geysir Geothermal Area

The Geysir geothermal area hosts many powerful hot springs. Among them is Strokkur, a geyser that shoots up to 35 meters every 5-10 minutes. The word Geysir, which nowadays describes an erupting hot spring, comes from "Geysir," the oldest erupting hot spring, dormant now,  that inspired the name for all the other geysers in the world.

Gullfoss Waterfall

Our last stop before the adventure comes to an end, is towards one of Iceland’s most majestic waterfalls: The Golden Waterfall! 

The melting water of Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, cascades into a deep canyon to create the awe-inspiring "Golden Falls." On clear days, you can even catch a glimpse of Langjökull in the distance, with the mist from the waterfall creating a beautiful rainbow effect. This is an ideal spot for a breathtaking photo opportunity!

Back To Reykjavík

Our return to the Reykjavik capital area is planned for approximately 5 pm; however, the schedule order and return time may be subject to changes based on weather and road conditions.
