Itinerary
Free Reykjavík pickup
Included pickup, 08:30–09:00
Choose pickup from selected Reykjavík accommodation or a designated bus stop while booking. Your confirmed collection time and location are shown on the voucher before the small-group journey begins.
Þingvellir National Park
UNESCO rift valley
Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates at Þingvellir, where Iceland's parliament was founded more than a millennium ago. The lava plains, lake views and dramatic fault lines set the tone for the day.
Geysir geothermal area
Strokkur eruptions and hot springs
Explore the bubbling colours of Haukadalur and watch Strokkur send a column of hot water into the air. Your guide leaves time to see the geothermal area at your own pace.
Gullfoss waterfall
Two-tiered power of the Hvítá river
Take in Gullfoss from the viewpoints above the canyon as glacier water drops in two stages toward the rugged river gorge. Conditions shape the mood here, from rainbows in summer to icy drama in winter.
Lunch break
Time to refuel on the route
Pause at a scheduled café or restaurant stop for lunch and refreshments. Food and drinks are not included, giving you the flexibility to choose what suits you.
