Essential Iceland

From Reykjavík we drive to Þingvellir National Park, site of the ancient Viking parliament. We drive through the barren mountain pass of Kaldidalur (the Cold Valley) to the glacier Langjökull, where we deflate our monster size tires and take our super jeeps for a ride on the glacier.

From Langjökull we continue to Hallmundarhraun, a lava area where Surtshellir, Iceland's biggest and most spectacular lava cave can be found. After caving, the group will continue down the Borgarfjörður valley and visit the waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, pass the historic site of Reykholt and Europe's largest hot spring before returning to Reykjavík via the fjord Hvalfjörður.

As lunch and beverages are not included in this tour we recommend that you bring packed lunch.
