Description
Discover a different side of West Iceland on a full-day Silver Circle route from Reykjavík. Begin with the force of Deildartunguhver and a visit to Sturlureykir, where Icelandic horses and the story of geothermal farming add a warm local dimension to the day.
Continue to Hraunfossar, where clear water streams from beneath a lava field, and neighbouring Barnafoss, where the river narrows into a powerful blue channel. These closely linked waterfalls make a striking contrast before the journey turns toward Langjökull.
A modified glacier vehicle carries you onto the ice for a guided walk inside the constructed Langjökull tunnel. This exact product includes Into the Glacier; it is not a choice between the ice tunnel, Víðgelmir and Canyon Baths. The route returns to Reykjavík after approximately ten hours.
Why choose this Silver Circle tour?
It combines West Iceland's geothermal, agricultural and waterfall highlights with the full Into the Glacier experience, giving you a richer day than either a standalone sightseeing loop or a glacier transfer alone.
