Þingvellir, famous for its beauty and geological and historical value, was accepted as UNESCO’s heritage site in 2004. Your guide shows you the most beautiful places of the park. Later you will visit Strokkur. It is a fountain geyser and it is Iceland’s most impressive and famous geyser, erupting about every 4–8 minutes, sometimes up to 40 m high. A spectacle not to be missed! The geyser can easily be reached in a wheelchair. Next to the geyser is also an accessible restaurant where we recommend to stop for lunch (not included). In the afternoon your guide will show you Gullfoss, the “Golden Waterfall”. Wheelchair visitors have a very good view on the waterfall from the parking place.

It’s time to travel further east along the beautiful south coast. On the way, you will visit the interesting LAVA Museum in Hvolsvöllur (entrance included). It is an interactive, high-tech educational exhibition depicting volcanic activity, earthquakes and the creation of Iceland over millions of years. The impressive Seljalandsfoss waterfall will be your next stop for the day. A wheelchair friendly path will take you closer to that picturesque waterfall. Continue to Skógar where you’ll find the picture perfect Skógafoss waterfall. Another highlight of the day is the charming village of Vík. This is Iceland´s most southerly village. It is the only seaside settlement in Iceland left without a harbor, due to natural circumstances. Once there, visit the black volcanic beach of Reynisfjara with a view of the Reynisdrangar ocean cliffs. The beach with its round shape stones is a small challenge for wheelchair users but you will definitely have a good view from the parking lot. Vík is the turning point and you drive back to your hotel in the area of Hella to stay there for the second night.

Today you will visit the geothermal active peninsula Reykjanes. Your guide will show you two interesting geothermal areas (Seltún/Krýsuvík and Gunnuhver). There, boiling mud pools and colorful mountains can be found. Another highlight today is the so called bridge between continents. You have the chance to see one of the world’s major tectonic plate boundaries. Cross the small bridge which was built as a symbol of the connection between Europe and North America. This plate boundary lies across Iceland and is the reason why Iceland has a high concentration of active volcanoes. The latest volcanic eruption on Reykjanes was in the 13. Century and you will see many old lava fields covered with moss during your tour. You will also make a stop at the blue lagoon where you will relax in the milky blue water (comfort package included). The Blue Lagoon is easily accessible to everyone, containing an accessible changing room and a special wheelchair to enter the lagoon itself. The deepest part of Blue Lagoon is around 1.60m/5.2ft ft but most parts of the lagoon are far shallower. If you are not interested to swim in the lagoon, your guide will make a short tour with you to a small fishing town nearby. You can have a look at the small fishing boats in the harbor and there is also a nice café in the harbor area. In the late afternoon your whole group drives back to Reykjavik where you stay for the night.
