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 reached the center of the Highlands, you can choose whether to try one of the many beautiful hike trails, or relax in the natural geothermal hotsprings of Laundmannalaugar. Before heading back to the hotel, we will make one more stop to 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 the 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 plate, 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 for 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”.

Brúarfoss Waterfall

We will also have a stop at the Brúarfoss Waterfall, unique for its vivid blue color, caused by the minerals in the water, and its multiple cascading streams that flow through a rugged landscape. Though a relatively off-the-beaten-path, the hike to Brúarfoss offers a peaceful escape and a chance to witness one of Iceland's most picturesque natural wonders.

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 in the mist of the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to happen!
