  • Þingvellir National Park

    Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Iceland’s most historic and scenic locations. It sits in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes with deep fissures and lava fields. The park is also the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD. Visitors can explore its hiking trails, admire the Öxarárfoss waterfall, and even snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure.

  • Gullfoss Waterfall

    Gullfoss, or the "Golden Falls," is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, located on the Hvítá River. It cascades in two dramatic tiers, plunging a total of 32 meters into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, mist from the falls creates stunning rainbows, adding to its breathtaking beauty. Gullfoss is a key stop on the Golden Circle and is known for its raw power and scenic surroundings.

  • Geysir Geothermal Area

    Geysir Geothermal Park, located in the Haukadalur Valley, is home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and erupting geysers. The most famous, Strokkur, erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters high. Though the Great Geysir, which gave all geysers their name, is mostly dormant, the area’s geothermal activity remains a stunning natural spectacle. Visitors can explore colorful mineral deposits and feel the Earth’s intense heat beneath their feet.

  • Laugarvatn Fontana

    Laugarvatn Fontana offers you a relaxing geothermal spa experience by Lake Laugarvatn. The outdoor mineral baths, with their varying depths, sizes, and temperatures, provide both recreation and relaxation. Locals have enjoyed these natural steam baths since 1929.

    Choose between soaking in the connected outdoor pools, feeling the natural heat of the steam rooms, or taking a refreshing dip in the lake itself. Each steam room draws heat directly from the geothermal spring below, creating an authentic Icelandic wellness experience.

  • Rye Bread tour (Geothermal bakery)

    Guests are invited to experience the geothermal bakery first hand and take part in baking a bread in the ground. It takes 24 hours for the earth to bake the bread, the slow cooking makes the dark rye bread very tasty and rememberable for everyone sampling it. After the informative walk and entertaining demonstration, everyone is invited to sample the freshly baked bread. Ideal in combination with the geothermal bathing.
