Reykjavik's location on the South-West corner of Iceland opens up handful of possibilities of awesome excursions around the area. Available on a day tour from Reykjavik are Iceland's three most famous sites, the Gullfoss Waterfall, the Geysir Area and Thingvellir National Park. All sights not to be missed on your travel.
The tour takes you to the Gullfoss Waterfall, Geysir Geothermal Area and Thingvellir National Park in an 8 hour excursion. More stops are done on the way allowing travelers an opportunity to explore more.
This popular excursion introduces you to some of the best known historical sites and natural phenomena in Iceland.
We start by visiting Nesjavellir, a high temperature geothermal
area in the scenic landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn. From there we go to
the Þingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament Alþingi
was founded in the year 930 AD. Þingvellir is geologically remarkable
and the tectonic plate boundaries form a breathtaking scenery.
We continue to the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, where we can walk
so close to the edge that we might feel the mist of the glacial water
on our faces. From there we journey towards the geothermal area around
the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. We proceed
to Skálholt church, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops. From
there we travel towards Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural
village.
Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee visits to
Nesjavellir in the winter season. Instead we visit Hellisheidi power
plant.
