We can’t wait to experience this world famous giant therapeutic hot pond. It is almost a must that we soak in the powder blue geothermal seawater when in Iceland.

One of the best Iceland tours is the Golden Circle Full Day Tour, where we will experience the Kerid Crater. We’ll see towering waterfalls, Thingvellir National Park, bubbling turquoise geysers, and the Strokkur Waterspout all clustered around the Golden Circle.

Outdoor adventure awaits us in Iceland! We’ll be amazed at dramatic landscapes, ethereal geological formations and delightful rural villages. This beautiful country is where fire meets ice, furrowed mountains meet cascading waterfalls, and isolated people radiate vibrant culture. The perfect place for an adventure of a lifetime.

Beginning in Reykjavik, we’ll drive to Thingvellir National Park, Iceland's first national park. Here we witness the divergent drift of the American and Eurasian plates. The start of our hike will be in the Þjófahraun lava field, where the palagonite mountains and ridges have been formed by volcanic activity during the last glacial period. This 4-hour hike will take us to the summit of Mount Hrafnabjörg for stunning views.

The volcanic region of Landmannalaugar is covered with pumice stone and pitch-black lava and we will set out on a hike to the top of a nearby peak for a panoramic view of this isolated highland oasis, the Fjallabak Nature Reserve.

A hike along the local fisherman’s trails will be amazing! The Snaefellsnes peninsula has fishing villages, lighthouses and even shipwrecks. Panoramic views include Mt. Snaefellsjokull, coves, inlets and sea cliffs, which are nesting sites for a multitude of bird species.

With a trusty guide who knows the country roads we will travel outside Reykjavik to the best viewing spots, hearing about the science of this unique natural phenomenon and its related Icelandic folklore.
