Description
1. Þingvellir National Park (Thingvellir) This UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet, drifting apart about 2.5 cm per year. You can walk right between them! Thingvellir is the birthplace of Iceland’s parliament, Althing, founded in 930 AD, making it one of the oldest democratic institutions in the world. Walk through the Almannagjá fissure and visit the Öxarárfoss waterfall. 2. Geysir Geothermal Area Home to Strokkur, one of the most reliable geysers in the world, erupting every 5-10 minutes with boiling water reaching up to 20-30 meters high. Geysir, the now mostly dormant geyser, gave its name to all geysers globally. The hot springs in this area boil at over 100°C (212°F), with surrounding sulfur deposits creating a unique, colorful landscape. 3. Gullfoss Waterfall Gullfoss is fed by the Hvítá River, plummeting 32 meters (105 feet) in two dramatic tiers. The name Gullfoss means 'Golden Falls,' as on sunny days, the mist creates stunning rainbows over the waterfall. The waterfall was saved from being harnessed for hydroelectric power by Sigríður Tómasdóttir, an early environmentalist who fought to preserve its natural beauty. 4. Kerið Crater The crater is around 3,000 years old and known for its red volcanic rock and bright blue lake. Kerið is part of Iceland’s volcanic landscape and one of its most striking crater lakes. Enjoy the unique contrast between the red rock and turquoise water. Optional Stop 1: Friðheimar Greenhouse Stop Time: 45 Minutes (Optional, Additional Fee) Friðheimar is an innovative geothermal-powered greenhouse, where tomatoes are grown year-round in Iceland’s challenging climate. The tomatoes thrive thanks to geothermal heat and artificial sunlight, making it a model of sustainable agriculture. Sample delicious tomato soup or other tomato-based dishes at their onsite restaurant. Optional Stop 2: Secret Lagoon Stop Time: 1 Hour (Optional, Additional Fee) The Secret Lagoon, or 'Gamla Laugin,' is one of the oldest natural pools in Iceland, dating back to 1891. Unlike the more commercial Blue Lagoon, the Secret Lagoon offers a more rustic, intimate hot spring experience, surrounded by steaming geothermal vents and natural beauty.Includes
