Express Tour Around Iceland

Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir) is one of the best geological wonders in Iceland. This UNESCO World Heritage Site and Game of Thrones film location is only a 45-minute drive from Reykjavík. Explore an epic Icelandic landscape, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet!

Þingvellir means assembly fields and in the year 930 AD, Iceland’s historic democratic parliament – one of the first in the world – was founded there. Most Icelandic people regard Þingvellir as a sacred place, a place of great beauty and an incredible stepping stone in their history.

Although the Great Geysir is less active these days, it did lend its name to hot springs all over the world. It was the first geyser described in a printed source.

Gullfoss (translated to ‘Golden Falls’) is one of Iceland’s most iconic and beloved waterfalls, found in the Hvítá river canyon in Southwest Iceland. In sunny weather, regardless of the season, an incredibly beautiful rainbow stands above it.

Skógafoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland, boasting a height of approximately 60 meters and a width of 25 meters. You can walk right up to it, but be prepared to get drenched. It's truly overwhelming to stand next to this powerful natural wonder. Due to the substantial amount of mist it generates, you'll often witness beautiful rainbows on sunny days.

Skógafoss is one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, with a drop of some 60 meters and a width of 25 meters, and you can walk right up to, but be prepared to be drenched. It is just overwhelming standing next to it. Seeing that it produces a lot of drizzle then you will be able to see beautiful rainbows on sunny days.

Once you are on top in the higher area of Dyrhólaey you will have a breathtaking view to all directions. To the north you see Mýrdalsjökull glacier, to the east you will see the beautiful black lava seastacks Reynisdrangar and to the west you can view the endless black coastline and then in front of the peninsula there is a huge black arch of lava reaching out into the sea which the peninsula takes its name from. Dyrhólaey literally means "the hill island with the door hole". It's 120 m high and you are able to walk the arch or the bridge if you are not afraid of heights. Up there you can also find a spectacular and big "castle shaped" lighthouse.

With its enormous basalt stacks, roaring Atlantic waves, and stunning panoramas, Reynisfjara is widely considered to be the most beautiful example of Iceland’s black sand beaches.
Reynisdrangar is so amazing that it was featured in Season 7 of the HBO Series Game of Thrones; you can spot it in a few scenes shot ‘North of the Wall’.
The sea stacks themselves are home to thousands of nesting seabirds. Species that can be found here include puffins, fulmars, and guillemots, making it a must-see location for all birdwatchers out there.

Get a chance to experience a world completely covered with ice. Join this unforgettable tour to see and experience the world’s rarest natural wonder - Iceland’s majestic glacier. Glaciers formed during our previous ice ages, when temperatures dropped worldwide. Nowadays only a few countries in the world can enjoy the stunning glaciers - including Iceland.
Sólheimajökull is a beautiful outlet, which is the most accessible glacier from Reykjavík. It is also known for being the Glacier of Fire & Ice, because of all the ashes covering and mixing up with ice from the previous volcanic eruptions. Underneath the glacier lies an active volcano Katla, which erupted last time in 1918. It is believed that Katla should erupt within the next few decades, therefore completely melting the ice. However volcanoes are highly monitored in Iceland, making it absolutely safe to travel in the area, hike on a glacier, and explore the wild ice caves.

Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is a natural wonder of our world formed by the constant melting and breaking of the glacier.
The lake has grown at varying rates because of glacial melting. It is now 1.5 kilometres away from the ocean’s edge and covers an area of about 18 km2. It recently became the deepest lake in Iceland, at over 248 metres (814 feet), as glacial retreat extended its boundaries. The Glacial Lagoon is part of Vatnajokull National Park.

Diamond Beach is a black sand beach located just beyond the bridge from the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. The ice pieces are the remnants of the large icebergs from the lagoon. The ice really sparkles in the sun, just like diamonds. They stand out so well in contrast to the black sand. You can find some really large chunks, along with lots of smaller ones. You can walk around them and take some awesome pictures.
Prepare to be amazed at the most popular beach in Iceland!​

The region with the sunniest weather and 120 km of coastline. It is the only place in the country where wild deer live.
The main city of the region is Eielsstadir. The highest free-standing peak in Iceland, Mount Snafell, is located here, in the country's largest forest. It is located right on the eastern shore of Lake Lagarfjöllöt. Look closely at it, you may see a monster snake, the main character of local legends. Not far from the lake is the third highest waterfall in Iceland, the beautiful Hengifoss.

A canyon with the largest number of basalt columns in Iceland and a stunning blue glacial river. It was created when once very powerful, glacial river made its way from the highlands to the north of the country. With the construction of a nearby hydroelectric power plant, the local landscape changed dramatically. When the river flows calmed down and the water level dropped, a stunningly beautiful canyon emerged.

Enormous sulfur springs and geothermal mud, lunar-scale volcanic craters, recently formed lava fields, and verdant shallows brimming with birds are just a few of the breathtaking sights and delicate landscapes of the remarkable Lake Myvatn region, which is among the nation's most geologically active areas. Lava overflowed the wetlands during volcanic eruptions, creating the lake's pseudo-craters. These magnificent formations were sculpted out of the earth by explosions brought on by the cold water meeting the boiling lava.

Once upon a time, as a result of a volcanic eruption, a huge lava pool was formed here. Heading toward Lake Mývatn, it was exhausted and froze, leaving behind these strange caves, pillars and towers of lava that resemble the remains of a medieval castle ruin. In Icelandic folklore, this valley is the gateway to hell. In Nordic Christian legends, it is the place where Satan landed after being expelled from heaven and created the "Catacombs of Hell".

You can hear it much earlier before you see it. And no wonder - it is the largest waterfall in Europe in terms of the average volume of water that the waterfall drops per second, with a height of 45 meters and a width of 100 meters. The water is almost always dark due to mineral deposits, and during floods, the river and its three waterfalls often get almost black from volcanic minerals.

The city is located on the longest fjord in Iceland, Eyjafjordur, where you can watch dolphins and seals all year round. Sometimes you can see killer whales, blue whales, and fin whales, which are not frequent visitors here anymore.

In the city, you should visit the Lutheran Church on the hill, known for its stained glass windows, and the best botanical garden in Iceland. The Hof Cultural Center building is also worth your attention, as it hosts music and theater performances and various exhibitions.

A chance to spot humpback whale killer whales, white-finned dolphins, blue whales, and fin whales here, surrounded by mountains. Because of its abundance of life, Akureyri is the greatest location in the world to see whales. You will have the opportunity to see a variety of bird species during the tour, the most well-known of which being the Atlantic puffin.

Not appropriate for kids younger than ten years old.
