Description

Discover the wonders of West Iceland on this exciting minibus tour from Reykjavik to the Silver Circle. Perfect for travelers who want varied adventures, this tour explores Iceland's hot springs, waterfalls, and a horse farm before exploring Langjokull Ice Tunnel.

This 10-hour tour starts in the morning when you are picked up by a small and comfortable minibus from your hotel or a nearby bus stop in Reykjavik. As you leave the city, enjoy scenic views of volcanic landscapes, rolling hills, and distant mountains.

Silver Circle is a must-see for travelers looking to experience Iceland's dramatic landscapes away from the crowds. This scenic route takes you through powerful hot springs, stunning waterfalls, and the icy heart of Langjokull Glacier.

Your journey will take you to Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring. Feel the heat beneath your feet as you walk through a geothermal field where steaming, bubbling pools reach temperatures of 207 F (97 C). With a 180 liters per second flow rate, this hot spring is so powerful that it heats the homes in the surrounding region.

From the hot springs, you'll head to two of West Iceland's hidden waterfalls. Keep your camera ready as you approach Hraunfossar. Watch as countless small streams flow gently through ancient lava fields before cascading into a milky blue river below.

Just a short walk away is Barnafoss, where rapid, twisting blue waters rush through a narrow canyon. Your guide will share the fascinating myths behind these waterfalls, giving you a glimpse into Iceland's rich folklore.

The adventure continues at Langjokull Ice Tunnel, where you'll step into the glacier at the world's largest ice tunnel. Led by expert glacier guides and equipped with all the necessary safety gear, you'll venture into a labyrinth of frozen corridors carved directly into Iceland's second-largest ice cap.

As you go through the tunnel, you'll witness striking blue ice walls and formations telling a story of past volcanic eruptions, snowfalls, and climate changes. Some sections are illuminated with soft lighting that will help you take photos and videos of the ice tunnel.

If you have questions about Langjokull and the ice tunnel, don't hesitate to ask your guide.

Before returning to Reykjavik, meet the adorable Icelandic horses and ponies at the Reykholt Horse Farm. Pet, feed, and snap photos of these friendly animals while learning more about their important role in Icelandic culture and history.

At the end of your 10-hour Silver Circle tour, your group will be dropped off back in the Icelandic capital.
