Grabrok Crater

Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring

Visit Deildartunguhver. Europe’s most powerful hot spring which produces 180 liters per second of water that is nearly boiling - 97° Celsius.

Hraunfossar

Explore a multitude of natural springs under a birch covered lava field, which creates a waterfall of hundreds of meters wide, the magnificent Hraunfossar (Lava Falls), seemingly appearing out of nowhere across the bank.

Barnafoss

A few minutes’ walk up the river from Hraunfossar is the Barnafoss (Children’s Fall). It has carved out strange figures from the rock and also has it's own tragic tale.

Kirkjufell Mountain

Vatnshellir Lava Cave

We take you 35 meters underground and about 200 meters into the lava tube under the glacier Snæfellsjökull!

Pingvellir National Park

UNESCO World Heritage site since 2004. Stroll around the country’s most sacred site, home of the oldest existing national parliament in the world, the Alþingi, and major events in the history of Iceland. Thingvellir is a place of fascinating natural beauty, a spectacular geological vista, set on a vast plain flanked by large fissures, right by Iceland’s largest lake, Thingvallavatn.

Geysir

There is a variety of hot springs and bubbling pools. The original geyser is now dormant but has been replaced by Strokkur, "the Churn", which erupts at 5-10-minute intervals. The chef of the Restaurant Geysir invites you to taste freshly baked hot spring bread served with Icelandic butter, boiled eggs and herring

Gullfoss

The mighty waterfall of Gullfoss - the Golden falls - perhaps the most beautiful in the country. The glacial river of Hvítá (white river) tumbles 32 meters (105 ft.) in a double cascade. On a sunny day a rainbow is very likely in the massive spray.
