Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your accommodation or hotel in Reykjavik. Your expert driver-guide will welcome you and lead you to your comfortable private vehicle, ready to start your adventure.

Your adventure begins at Fossatun region, home to the unique Troll’s Park, created to immerse guests in Icelandic folklore. As you stroll through the park, you’ll encounter sculptures of trolls inspired by Iceland’s mythical tales.

One notable figure is Gryla, the fearsome mother of the Yule Lads, Iceland’s famous Christmas santas. Walking among these towering figures offers a memorable glimpse into Iceland’s rich mythology.

Next, you’ll visit the Deildartunguhver hot spring, which has the highest flow rate of hot springs in Europe. Here, water surges at 48 gallons (180 liters) per second and reaches 206 degrees Fahrenheit (97 degrees Celsius). This geothermal marvel provides natural heating to nearby towns like Borgarnes.

Deildartunguhver region is also home to Krauma Spa, a luxurious spa where you can unwind in the spring’s mineral-rich waters. While the spa admission isn’t included in the tour, you will have the option to indulge in this relaxing experience if you wish.

Continuing along the Silver Circle, you’ll arrive at Hraunfossar, which translates to the lava waterfalls. Here, crystal-clear water flows from lava tubes beneath the Hallmundarhraun lava field into the Hvita river.

Just a short walk away from Hraunfossar, you will find Barnafoss, a mesmerizing waterfall famous for its vibrant blue waters and enchanting legend. Known as the children’s falls, Barnafoss is set among dramatic rock formations and stunningly bright blue currents, making it a truly photogenic gem in West Iceland.

The final stop of your adventurous day is Reykholt, a historically significant village and former home of Iceland’s renowned medieval writer, Snorri Sturluson.

The old Reykholt church stands as a tribute to Snorri, and just beside it, you can visit his natural hot pool and the remnants of an underground tunnel, believed to have once connected his bathhouse to his private quarters, offering an intriguing glimpse into his life and legacy.

Throughout the tour, your expert local guide will share captivating stories about the natural wonders and iconic landmarks you visit, offering a more personalized experience and enriching your journey.
