Depart from Reykjavik and head to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site with great historical and geological significance. It's where the Icelandic parliament, Althingi, was established in 930 AD, making it one of the oldest parliaments in the world.
The park lies in a rift valley, marking the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Here, you can walk between two continents and witness stunning landscapes, including mountains, lava fields, and picturesque waterfalls.
Next, continue to the Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur valley. This area is home to several geysers, including the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5–10 minutes and can reach heights of up to 100 feet (30 meters).
The geothermal field also features bubbling mud pots and steaming hot springs, offering a unique glimpse into the Earth's geothermal activity.
From here, you'll travel to Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls. The waterfall cascades in two stages with a total drop of over 100 feet (32 meters).
On sunny days, the mighty falls create a rainbow in the mist, adding to the breathtaking beauty of the site. Several viewing platforms offer different perspectives of the falls.
After a quick break for lunch, your guide will take you to the Secret Lagoon geothermal spa. This spa is considered Iceland's oldest swimming pool, dating back to 1891. Relax in the warm geothermal waters, which maintain a temperature of around 100°F (38°C) year-round.
Relax and unwind in this gorgeous natural setting, with steam rising from the Earth to create a tranquil and rejuvenating atmosphere. Soaking in geothermal waters is a traditional Icelandic pastime, offering a perfect way to unwind.
After an exciting day of sightseeing, you'll be dropped off back at your accommodation in Reykjavik.
