Description:

Venture into the Highlands of Iceland and explore the rugged surroundings on this fascinating full-day tour. Experience natural beauty at its finest as you pass by dramatic landscapes, see natural hot springs, and visit Þingvellir National Park.

Embark your comfortable coach and head to Deildartunguhver, where your guide awaits. This area is renowned for hot springs with a high flow rate and waters that can reach up to 206 degrees Fahrenheit (97 C). Continue to Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls that extends 2,950 feet (900 m) and comes from the Hallmundarhraun lava flow. Just a stone's throw away is Barnafossar, another stunning series of waterfalls that flows from a lava field.

Your Highlands tour takes you along the short, rocky pass of Kaldidalur to Jaki, where you have a chance to walk toward the Langjökull glacier. Resting on a massif of the Hyaloclastite mountains, Langjökull is one of the largest ice caps in the country, with stunning landscapes providing many photo opportunities. Take a moment to fill in the far-reaching views and inhale the fresh, crisp air.

Complete your tour with a visit to Þingvellir National Park, a site of historical, cultural, and ecological significance. The park aims to protect not only the natural phenomena in the surrounding area but also remnants of the country's original parliament, which was established in Þingvellir in 930 AD.
