ÞINGVELLIR

Our first stop is Þingvellir National Park, renowned for its extraordinary natural beauty and deep historical significance. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir (also spelled Thingvellir) is one of Iceland’s most important cultural landmarks.

Located east of Reykjavík, Þingvellir was the site of the Alþing (Althing), Iceland’s national parliament, from the 10th to the 18th century. Today, visitors can explore the Þingvellir Church and the remains of ancient stone shelters. The park sits within a dramatic rift valley, formed by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Among its most striking features is the massive Almannagjá fault.

Fun fact for Game of Thrones fans: While Iceland is famously known as the land beyond the Wall, the path to the Eyrie in the series was filmed right here in Þingvellir. Visitors can walk the same narrow path through towering rock formations, imagining what it would be like to approach the impregnable Eyrie.

THE GREAT GEYSIR

Next, we visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to bubbling hot springs and erupting geysers. Geysir, often called the Great Geysir, was the first geyser described in written records and the first known to modern Europeans. In fact, the English word geyser originates from this very spot.

The geothermal field is best known for Strokkur, Iceland’s most active geyser, which erupts impressively every few minutes, sending hot water high into the air.

LANGJÖKULL SNOWCAP

From Geysir, we journey to Langjökull Glacier, where you’ll enjoy an unforgettable one-hour snowmobile ride across the vast, snowy expanse.

Langjökull is Iceland’s second-largest ice cap, located in the western interior highlands and visible from the Haukadalur valley. This glacier offers a breathtaking, otherworldly landscape—perfect for adventure.

The tour is operated by Mountaineers of Iceland, one of the country’s oldest and most experienced activity providers, specializing in Super Jeep, monster truck, and glacier snowmobile adventures on Langjökull.

GULLFOSS WATERFALL

On our return to Reykjavík, we stop at the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall. Here, you’ll have the chance to stand right next to the falls and feel the raw power of nature as vast amounts of water plunge dramatically into a rugged gorge.

Also known as the “Golden Waterfall,” Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most iconic natural wonders. It is fed by the Hvítá (White) River, which originates from the Langjökull glacier. The waterfall drops a total of 32 meters in two stages into a canyon with cliffs that rise up to 70 meters. On sunny days, a stunning rainbow often arches over the falls, adding to the magic of the moment.

REYKJAVIK
