Begin your journey at Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the Almannagja Rift, stand between tectonic plates, and admire Oxararfoss Waterfall beside Thingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest lake.
Continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur Valley. See steaming vents, mineral terraces, and smaller geysers. Strokkur is the highlight, erupting regularly as pressure pushes water high into the air.
From here, travel to Gullfoss Waterfall, where meltwater from Langjokull Glacier plunges into a 105-foot-deep (32-meter) canyon. Hydroelectric plans once threatened the site, but conservation efforts preserved its powerful beauty for future generations.

The adventure continues at Raufarholshellir, also called the Lava Tunnel. Walking inside, you'll see colorful mineral walls glow under shifting light and icy formations cling to the rocks.
Inside the tunnel, you'll see ice formations in winter and mineral-coated walls year-round. Your guide explains how molten lava carved the chamber. Learn how its layers reveal the eruption’s temperature, flow speed, and cooling process.
