Itinerary

  • Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring

    Take in the sights at Deildartunguhver, the highest-flow hot spring in Europe, providing 180 liters pr second of 100@C hot water! Thread the path carefully while watching and hearing the powerful energy of the hot spring at work.

    20 minutes

  • Snorralaug

    Next you will stop at Reykholt historic site. There you can learn a little bit about history of Iceland and see Snorralaug – small hot spring used by local people since 12th century. This place was first mentioned in medieval writings of Snorri Sturluson -the famous Icelandic poet and politician who used to bath there.

    20 minutes

  • Hraunfossar

    You will see the great Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls spread at a distance of around 900 m. The waters flow out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field that was formed around 1000 years ago during a massive eruption of volcano lying under a Langjökull glacier. Hraunfossar are very often called “Lava Waterfalls”. Rivulets streaming from the lava field create one of the most breath-taking views in Iceland.

    30 minutes

  • Barnafoss

    Just few meters away from Hraunfossar you will find another interesting waterfall – Barnafoss. Its name, “the waterfall of the children,” comes from an accident tale which is said to have taken place here in a previous century. There was a natural stone bridge over the waterfall, and two children from a nearby farm fell to their deaths crossing the river on the bridge. Afterwards, the grief-stricken mother had the bridge destroyed.

    30 minutes

  • The Cave

    The highlight of the tour is a visit to a colorful Vidgelmir Lava Cave. Just shy of 1600 meters the cave features amazing colors and lava formations that lurk in the depths of the earth. During this 1,5 hour long expedition you will have a chance to see one of the largest lava caves in Iceland with its stunning lava stalactites and stalagmites. The area surrounding the entrance to the cave will allow you to realize how powerful eruptions of volcano can be.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Husafell

    After nearly 2 hours spent deep below the surface of the Earth, we will end our tour in the woodland oasis of Husafell, where you can grab a snack in the restaurant. Husafell is a magical place to unwind after a day of wonder, with birch tree woodlands, waterfalls, rugged lava fields, crystal-clear water springs, medieval remains and much more to see.

Worth the day

Published on Feb, 2025

The whole day was worth it! From waterfalls to hot springs to lunch to the Lava Cave! Maria, our guide was so wonderful and definitely gave the trip more details and fun!

The Wonderful West of Iceland (mustache edition)

Published on Feb, 2025

Thorri was an amazing guide. He brought a unique thoughtful Western Icelandic vibe to our tour. The area which we covered felt like a piece of Iceland that was quiet, natural, and very easy to get your full heart and mind around. I would never have imagined that visiting the hot pool of a long ago deceased writer would be affecting, but I found myself drawn in to Thorri’s enthusiasm for the subject. Looking at the distant mountains and lava fields, one can truly see a timeless beauty unmarred by modernity. Even something that sounds industrial, a geothermal pumping station, displays a wonderful and surprising balance between the practical and the natural. Well played Iceland. I will leave the part of the tour with the waterfalls cascading from BENEATH the lava fields for the reader of this review to discover and enjoy for yourself with no spoilers. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and hopefully you get Thorri as your guide. PS, you’ll recognize him by his mustache, enough said.

Great trip!

Published on Jan, 2025

Great trip, off the beaten track from other tours. Lots to see and made all the better with a great tour guide…Filip who kept us entertained all day with Icelandic stories and corresponding music. I great selection of stops with a couple extra thrown in. Thoroughly recommended!

Amazing tour. Amazing day!

Published on Jan, 2025

We booked a tour, not this exact one, but one to see many silver circle wonders, for my 50th birthday, and I'm so pleased we did. Besides myself, my wife and our 14 year old son, there was only one other person on the trip. Which made it feel even more special. I sat up front with our magnificent guide, Gulli. His knowledge of the flaura and fauna was incredible. But more importantly, to us, was his ability to tell a story. The whole trip, he kept us enthralled with tales of vikings and ancient kings, weaving history and legend together in a perfect blend. He was funny and friendly, even having a snowball fight with our Son. We originally intended to visit hot baths, but the road was too flooded, so instead, Gulli organised a trip into the lava cave. An upgrade as far as we were concerned! The whole trip, we felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. Thank you so much, Gulli, for making my birthday the most amazing day ever.

Excellent sights, amazing tour guide!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great value for money. Many activities, lots of unique sights to see and you’re travelling in comfort along the way. I don’t generally do reviews but felt compelled to after having such a wonderful experience with our guide, Monica. Throughout the entire 10 hour tour she made sure everyone in her care felt comfortable and involved, and went out of her way multiple times to make the experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible. My partner Heather and I cannot praise her performance enough, she clearly loves the work she does and her passion and energy is nothing short of contagious. Thanks for making this trip so amazing, Monica!
