Our first destination is Þingvellir National Park, where you will get the chance to walk between two tectonic plates. North American and Eurasian that are drifting apart approx. 2.5 cm year! You will have time to walk around the park, admire beautiful Öxarárfoss and see the first Icelandic parliament or as it is called Althingi in Icelandic.

Next on our agenda is Geysir geothermal area with an active geyser called Strokkur which erupts approximately every 10 minutes. We will stop there for a while, so you will have time to try to take an iconic photo with geyser erupting like a fountain behind you. There are restaurants located next to the geyser area that you can check on if you get hungry, want to buy souvenirs or use the toilet.

Stop 4
Our next stop is spectacular Gullfoss or Golden Falls in English. This amazing waterfall has been visited by tourist since 1875, it is very powerful but it is also known for its beauty as you might see a rainbow above the water or a golden hue shining in its glacier water.

Keri is made out of red volcanic rocks, with a mineral-filled lake in the centre and green moss growing on its edges, providing the water a brilliant cyan colour. This provides a stunning contrast of colours as well as breathtaking landscape. In the winter, the crater's waters will freeze over, but in all other seasons, they will flow calmly.
6
Hveragerdi is a town in Iceland's southwest. Because of the dynamic geological and geothermal forces that characterise it, it is commonly referred to as 'Earthquake Town' or 'Hot Spring Town.'
7
Sky Lagoon is regarded as one of the country's most delightful and romantic destinations. The water is translucent and strikingly blue, and it is surrounded by a variety of spectacular volcanic scenery. The spa's excellent ambience is further enhanced by rising steam pillars. A prefect place to relax after a long day.
