Itinerary and highlights

Thingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Iceland's most important historical and geological landmarks. Visitors can walk through the dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates slowly drift apart, while learning about the country's rich history and the site of Iceland's first parliament.

Oxararfoss is a beautiful waterfall located within Thingvellir National Park. A short walk leads visitors to this scenic cascade, which flows over rugged lava rock formations and offers excellent opportunities for photography surrounded by Iceland's unique natural landscape.

The Geysir Geothermal Area is one of Iceland's most famous natural attractions, featuring bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and geothermal activity. The area showcases the powerful forces beneath Iceland's surface and provides visitors with a fascinating glimpse into the country's volcanic nature.

Strokkur is Iceland's most active geyser and erupts every few minutes, sending a column of hot water high into the air. Its frequent eruptions make it one of the most reliable and exciting natural attractions in Iceland, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to witness this spectacular phenomenon.

Gullfoss, known as the Golden Falls, is one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. The powerful glacial river plunges into a dramatic canyon in two stages, creating breathtaking views and often producing rainbows on sunny days. The waterfall is considered one of the highlights of any visit to Iceland.
