Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Iceland’s most historic and scenic locations. It sits in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes with deep fissures and lava fields. The park is also the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD. Visitors can explore its hiking trails, admire the Öxarárfoss waterfall, and even snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure.

2

Geysir Geothermal Park, located in the Haukadalur Valley, is home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and erupting geysers. The most famous, Strokkur, erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters high. Though the Great Geysir, which gave all geysers their name, is mostly dormant, the area’s geothermal activity remains a stunning natural spectacle. Visitors can explore colorful mineral deposits and feel the Earth’s intense heat beneath their feet.

3

Gullfoss, or the "Golden Falls," is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, located on the Hvítá River. It cascades in two dramatic tiers, plunging a total of 32 meters into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, mist from the falls creates stunning rainbows, adding to its breathtaking beauty. Gullfoss is a key stop on the Golden Circle and is known for its raw power and scenic surroundings.

4

Friðheimar is a unique greenhouse farm in the heart of Iceland, where fresh tomatoes are grown year-round using sustainable geothermal energy. This remarkable place offers more than just agriculture – visitors can enjoy a one-of-a-kind dining experience right inside the greenhouse, surrounded by thriving tomato plants. Friðheimar is a perfect example of Icelandic innovation, where nature, sustainability, and fresh flavors come together in harmony.

5

Kerið Crater is a part of the larger Western Volcanic Zone – it was formed around 3,000 years ago during a volcanic eruption, leaving behind a massive caldera with a depth of about 55 meters (180 feet) and a diameter of approximately 270 meters (890 feet).

What makes Kerið so unique and captivating is the vivid colors of the rocks and surrounding vegetation. The slopes of the crater display vibrant shades of red, russet, and deep browns, creating a picturesque contrast against the azure blue water that has collected at the bottom. The changing colors of the surrounding vegetation throughout the seasons further accentuate the ever-evolving nature of this unique geological site.

Kerið is also home to a rich ecosystem, with various plant species finding a niche within its volcanic walls. Mosses, lichens, and hardy grasses cling to the rocks, creating a burst of green amidst the barren, rocky landscape.

6

Laugarás Lagoon is a two-story wellness oasis designed for ultimate relaxation, featuring a variety of geothermal pools, hot tubs, and soaking areas set amid the region’s stunning natural scenery. Whether visiting as a couple, with friends, or with family, the lagoon offers a serene environment to unwind, soak in the warm waters, and enjoy the peaceful Icelandic surroundings.
