Description

Explore the mountains and volcanoes of the Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve and bathe in its natural hot springs with this convenient and reliable roundtrip transfer service from Gullfoss waterfall. Travelers eager to see the Icelandic Highlands and add a unique adventure to their Golden Circle trip should book today.

Your Highland bus will be waiting for you at Gullfoss waterfall in the morning, one of the three major attractions of the Golden Circle sightseeing route. This site, along with Thingvellir National Park and the Geysir geothermal area, is a must-see attraction for all Icelandic visitors and is easy to drive to from Reykjavik.

Once you have boarded your bus, your guide will drive you from the green, rural landscapes of Southwest Iceland into the dramatic, barren landscapes of the Icelandic Highlands.

You'll travel along the Kjolur Highland Road, which is famous for its breathtaking views and fascinating history, steeped in tales of Viking travelers and bandits. This trail was one of the first paths Icelanders used to cross the length of the country.

If the weather is clear, you may see glimpses of glaciers en route, including Iceland's second-largest, Langjokull.

You'll reach the Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve after roughly 90 minutes. The nature reserve is named after its central volcano. It features colorful mountain ranges and steams with geothermal energy, providing otherworldly landscapes to explore. Here, you're free to choose how to spend your day. 

Those interested in hiking will find plenty of trails leading to incredible views, many of which are accessible to those with a reasonable fitness level. Photographers will find countless landscapes and features that beg their attention and can build a striking portfolio from the attractions here.

Of course, those who would rather relax and enjoy the sites are welcome.

All travelers, however, should remember their swimsuits and towels, as the Kerlingarfjoll Nature Reserve has spectacular geothermal areas where you can go hot spring bathing surrounded by nature. This classic Icelandic experience allows you to enjoy the healing properties of the heated waters while marveling over incredible views. 

No matter how you spend your day, you are guaranteed an authentic, immersive adventure in the Icelandic Highlands.

After a thrilling experience, you'll board your bus and return to the Gullfoss area. From here, you can continue your Golden Circle exploration, visit other notable sites in the region, or return to Reykjavik independently.
