Choose pick up point in Reykjavik

You will start your Icelandic adventure from the convenient pick-up locations around the city. Pick up starts at 08:30 and can take up to 30 min.

Thingvellir National Park

Start with a scenic drive to Þingvellir National Park. Here was the parliament of Iceland held when it was established in the year 930 and the yearly meetings continued until 1798, when it was moved to Reykjavik. The huge rift valley was created by the drift of the mid-Atlantic ridge. Due to this geological importance and historical significance, Þingvellir was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2004.

Geysir

Continue to Geysir geothermal area with its colorful deposits of yellow sulfur, the red oxidized iron rocks, and light grey deposits of Silica. Witness Strokkur erupting every 4-8 minutes, shooting water up to 25 meters into the air, while the original Geysir remains dormant. This dramatic display of nature's power is a sight you won't forget.
