This tour offers a perfect mix of breathtaking waterfalls, hot springs, and a peek into Iceland’s rich history.

Tour Plan
Hraunfossar & Barnafossar
Hraunfossar, also known as the Lava Falls, is a series of enchanting waterfalls that stream out of a lava field into the Hvítá river. The crystal-clear water cascades down over a wide area, creating a mesmerizing scene that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale.
Barnafossar, or the Children’s Falls, is nearby to Hraunfossar. It has a fascinating story attached to it. According to legend, two children fell into the river and drowned, leading their mother to destroy the natural stone bridge that once crossed the falls. The turbulent, rushing waters of Barnafossar contrast sharply with the gentle flow of Hraunfossar, making both spots a must-see.
Deildartunguhver Hot Springs
Deildartunguhver is the most powerful hot spring in Europe, producing 180 liters of boiling water per second. The steam rising from the ground creates a surreal atmosphere, and the hot spring provides hot water to the towns of Borgarnes and Akranes. Visitors can marvel at the immense power and heat of Deildartunguhver and even purchase fresh vegetables grown in greenhouses heated by the spring.
Árhver Hot Springs in the Middle of a River
Árhver is a unique hot spring located right in the middle of a river. This rare sight is captivating as you witness the boiling water bubbling up amidst the flowing river. The combination of the hot spring’s heat and the cool river water creates a beautiful natural phenomenon that showcases Iceland’s geothermal wonders.
Reykholt: A Historic Site
Reykholt is one of Iceland’s most important historical sites. It was the home of Snorri Sturluson, a medieval scholar, poet, and politician. Visitors can explore the Snorrastofa, a museum dedicated to his life and work, and see the ancient hot pool, Snorralaug, where he is believed to have bathed. Reykholt offers a fascinating glimpse into Iceland’s medieval past and its literary heritage.
