Silver Circle and Husafell Canyon Baths Day Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

Discover the geological wonders of West Iceland's Silver Circle on this scenic 10-hour day tour, with a relaxing visit to the Husafell Canyon Baths. It's an ideal choice for travelers interested in geothermal attractions, striking volcanic scenery, and majestic waterfalls.

The tour starts from your Reykjavik accommodation or a nearby authorized meeting point. After check-in, you'll head to West Iceland's Borgarfjordur region in a comfortable minibus with your English-speaking guide.

The journey takes you along the Silver Circle, a scenic route in West Iceland that includes Deildartunguhver Hot Spring, the waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, and historical sites connected to Icelandic sagas. The area is also known for its volcanic landscapes and geothermal activity.

The first stop is Deildartunguhver, the highest-flowing hot spring in Europe. This geothermal area releases a powerful volume of boiling water at temperatures up to 207 F (97 C) and supplies central heating to nearby towns.

Next, you'll visit two stunning waterfalls known as Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Hraunfossar features gentle streams that flow from beneath an ancient lava field. In contrast, Barnafoss moves through a narrow canyon with milky-blue water and sharply carved rock formations.

After admiring these natural wonders, you'll head to Husafell, where your next adventure begins. This part of the journey includes a visit to the peaceful Husafell Canyon Baths, a relaxing experience set in the heart of untouched Icelandic nature.

Tucked into a quiet corner of the highlands, the Husafell Canyon Baths features two stone-lined geothermal pools fed by naturally warm spring water. The temperature usually sits between 30 and 41(86–106 F), soothingly contrasting the cool mountain air. 

To get there, you'll take a short guided walk through scenic canyon terrain, complete with views of distant mountains and dramatic cliff faces along the way.

What sets the Husafell Canyon Baths apart is their secluded setting. With views of the rugged canyon cliffs and warm geothermal pools, it's a truly tranquil escape. The site has been thoughtfully developed with sustainability in mind, using local materials and traditional techniques to preserve the area's natural beauty.

To fully enjoy the Husafell Canyon Baths, don't forget to pack a swimsuit and towel. Changing facilities are available on site.

The day's final stop is visiting a horse farm in Reykholt. Here, you'll meet the friendly and iconic Icelandic horses, known for their gentle nature and unique gait. You'll have time to interact with the animals, take photos, and learn more about this beloved breed.

After your time at the farm, you'll board the minibus for a scenic drive back to Reykjavik, arriving in the early evening.
