WINTER EDITION
Combination Adventure Tour: Sightseeing on the Golden Circle and lava caving in Iceland.
Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy
Includes a visit to Geysir, the world famous hot springs, Gullfoss waterfall, lava caving in the Blue Mountains and visit to Þingvellir National Park.
We start with an underground visit to the world under the great lava field in the Blue Mountains where you witness how Iceland was created. This is an amazing hike through an ancient underground lava tube. Following this remarkable experience we drive onwards to Gullfoss, the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls. Gullfoss is an amazing sight with water rushing down three steps of lava layers with breathtaking power and grandeur. Afterwards we feast on a traditional Icelandic meat soup at the Gullfoss Café before driving on to the geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and only Geysir. There the earth gurgles and bubbles when super heated water escapes from the ground with enormous force, a sight not soon forgotten. Our last stop will be the famous Þingvellir National Park (en. Parliament Fields). Þingvellir is a UNESCO world heritage site and the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world. In addition it is the place where the tectonic plates of America and Europe meet and the rift valley is clearly visible. From the national park we have a short drive back to Reykjavík.
This trip has it all; stunning natural beauty, interesting history, amazing geological wonders and a great caving adventure!
