What To Expect
Glanni Waterfall
Your first stop is Bifröst in West Iceland, a name you might recognize from Norse mythology. Here you’ll visit the Glanni waterfall, which lends a mythic feel to what’s often described as the boundary between the human and the gods’ realms. The falls drop in several steps across the ancient lava fields of Grábrókarhraun. As you take in Glanni, you’ll also have a clear view of the three Grábrók volcanic craters rising above the surrounding fields.
Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring
Deildartunguhver is the first sight on the tour - the most powerful hot spring in Europe, which is so strong that it provides hot water and power for the locals for miles around. After spending some time walking amongst the steaming clouds of vapor at Deildartunguhver, we’ll move onto Hraunfossar, also known as the “Lava Waterfalls”.

Serene tour of lesser visited sites

5.00This tour takes in some stunning but often overlooked sites. Firstly, a magnificent waterfall, with sunrise enhancing its beauty. Then an unhurried visit to a lovely Icelandic horse farm; and an opportunity to meander with them in the fields. Then to an even more astonishing set of waterfalls - lovely little walk around these to the various viewing platforms. And the day ended with a gorgeous afternoon bath in the canyon baths (which I had to myself - incredible) but even at peak only accept 20 people so never busy. Nestled in a deep canyon, these baths are small but stunning - and very civilised with changing rooms and a small bar for a glass of wine! This was my favourite tour in Iceland. It felt authentic, off the beaten track and I saw some of the most gorgeous scenery of all. Guide was educational but not overbearing - knew how to balance information with a bit of quiet time/music to enjoy the scenery. Loved it. Highly recommend
Try it.....

5.00This was an unbelievably beautiful tour, led by an experienced, witty and knowledgeable guide, Thormodur. We got to see amazing landscapes, visit a horse farm, and bathe in hot baths (very private and remote!) in the most incredible canyon. Can’t recommend enough.
Canyon Baths worth the hike

5.00We had been on another tour company before this one (both equally good - we recommend smaller groups) but we enjoyed our guide Monica, who was very personable and fun. We ended up visiting a few more sites than what was on the itinerary because we were the only ones going to the Canyon Baths. Canyon Baths were the highlight of the tour - super relaxing and secluded, highly recommend
Amazing experience! Very recomendable!
