About this experience
As you will notice, most of the stops end with "Foss", that is because for this tour we chase some of the most powerful and beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, Seljalandsfoss, Gullfoss, Kvernufoss, Thingvallafoss and Skogafoss. This tour is perfect for both winter and summer as these waterfalls could either be reflecting the blue skies and creating rainbows in the summer, or be completely frozen ice pillars in the winter. Our tour offers a knowledgeable guide who is fun and also shares interesting fun facts and stories about Iceland during the drives. We also provide WIFI and Icelandic bottled water (which you can fill up on one of the springs that we pass) on board for you to to enjoy. Finally, we end this tour with a dip in Sky lagoon, after chasing waterfalls all day, you get to enjoy the evening soaking in the geothermal pool in Reykjavik, while enjoying a drink in the hot water.

At Thingvellir National Park you will get to experience yet another mesmerizing waterfall, known as Thingvallafoss. Here, you will also get to witness the grounds of the oldest Icelandic government and where it was written out. Thingvellir has beautiful natural stone structures. This is also where the American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, making for a wonderful picture moment
Hvernufoss is one of the hidden waterfall gems, the waterfall is between large cliffs and sometimes creating a wonderful picturesque rainbow.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls in Iceland. This waterfall allows for you to walk behind it and listen to the loud yet satisfying and powerful showers. This is also a good place for a picture to remember.
Skógafoss Waterfall is a 60m high waterfall where the Skógá river terminates over what was once sea cliffs. The coastline has receded here leaving this stunning vertical waterfall behind. The intensity and power creates a permanent mist or spray around the area which can often lead to rainbows around the falls on a sunny day.
