Stop 1
Begin with a scenic drive to Þingvellir National Park, the site of Iceland’s original parliament founded in 930 AD. Set in a dramatic rift valley where tectonic plates meet, this UNESCO World Heritage Site blends rich history with stunning geology. Stopping time is about 20 – 40 minutes.

Stop 2
The geothermal area is where vibrant yellow sulfur, red iron-rich rocks, and pale silica deposits create a striking landscape. Watch Strokkur erupt every 4–8 minutes, sending boiling water up to 25 meters skyward, while the original Geysir sleeps nearby. This powerful natural show is truly unforgettable.
3
Journey into the Highlands via the scenic Kjölur route to meet the powerful Monster Truck awaiting your glacier experience.

The "Long Glacier," where breathtaking views unfold with every turn. Once inaccessible, this majestic landscape is now within reach thanks to our powerful red Monster Glacier Truck, ensuring a smooth and safe journey, our knowledgeable guides share fascinating insights into glaciers, geology, local legends, and Icelandic folklore.
Upon reaching the glacier, have a bit of fun! Try Glacier Golf or sled down a snowy hill, weather permitting. Taste the purest glacier water straight from the source, and warm up at our cozy pop-up glacier café with hot cocoa, tea, a sip of Jökla liqueur, and a classic Icelandic Kleinur pastry.

Drive back in the Transfer bus to Gullfoss waterfall

Stop 6
Known as the "Golden Falls” the powerful glacial water plunges into a deep canyon, creating a dramatic roar and mist that you can feel on your skin. If the sun hits just right, you might even catch a rainbow dancing in the spray.
After soaking in the beauty of Gullfoss, we board our comfortable minibus for a scenic drive back to Reykjavík.
