Itinerary and highlights
Start your day early from Reykjavik and drive directly to Thingvellir National Park (around 45 minutes drive). Spend a couple of hours exploring the park, taking in the scenic landscapes, and learning about its historical significance.
A picturesque lake nestled within its ancient confines. Formed approximately 3000 years ago, this crater beckoned us to embark on a leisurely stroll around its perimeter. The trail meandered along the crater's edge, treating us to captivating views at every turn.
We will walk around the volcano crater and will take beautiful pictures.
We will visit Fridheimar Tomato Farm where locals grow tomato's by geothermal power. We offer for our tourists to try tomato soup with baguette. Also, you can buy some souvenirs and tomato products
Next, head to the Geysir geothermal area (about 15 minutes drive). Witness the impressive eruptions of the Strokkur geyser and explore the other geothermal features in the area.
We will make a stop by Bru Horse Farm, to take pictures with horses and we can feed them with special candies for horses.
(Please tell the driver/guide if you have an allergy to horses)
From Thingvellir, continue your journey to Gullfoss waterfall (approximately 1.5 hour's drive). Marvel at the powerful cascades and enjoy the breathtaking views of the waterfall and its canyon.
Spend the time relaxing in the geothermal waters.
The Secret Lagoon, known locally as Gamla Laugin, is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland. It was made in 1891 at Hverahólmi, a geothermal area near Flúðir.
