Itinerary and highlights
We will start the day with a visit to the National Park of Thingvellir. Both history and nature are making this park one of the most interesting sites in Iceland.
You will begin the visit from a viewing platform on which your guide will tell you everything there is to know about this place. Your guide will then orientate you to another place in the park where he will meet you. The short walk along the tectonic plate is simply stunning.
From this rendez-vous point, your guide will show you the way to the waterfall of Öxarárfoss, a man-made waterfall from viking times.
Welcome to the most famous site in Iceland: The geyser of Strókkur and its older brother: Geysir.
Geysir is a geyser that is now dormant, eruptions are extremely rare. Although the english word "Geyser" is directly coming from this geyser. Right next to it is another geyser, named Strókkur, which erupts every 5 to 10 minutes. This is the one that you will see bursting over and over again!
Gullfoss is a waterfall in a glacial river, the water comes from the second glacier of Europe: The Langjökull.
Gullfoss is a very powerful waterfall and is about 30 m tall, divided in two drops of 20 and 10 meters each.
In this dairy farm, operated by the same family since 1750, we will have the delight to taste the best ice cream in Iceland.
A tomato farm in Iceland. Even though this would sound quite unlikely at first, as tomatoes are known to grow in warmer climates, it turns out that it is actually nature that is helping us to grow tomatoes here all year round.
In this greenhouse, surrounded by 2-3m high tomato plants, we will enjoy a delicious lunch. Maybe you will also like to treat yourselves to a bloody mary?
