About your day

Today you will explore the southern part of Iceland. You will be picked up by the excursion company shortly before 9:00 am. Begin your day by going to Þingvellir National Park. Þingvellir because of its beauty and its geological and historical value was accepted as UNESCO’s heritage site in 2004. After exploring the treasures of the park, you will head south to see Gullfoss Waterfall. It is ideal to have a bowl of traditional meat soup at Gullfoss café. You will make a short stop at Hellisheiðarvirkjun geothermal power plant before continuing to Reykjavík. In the evening, we recommend that you take a walking tour (or by taxi) to the Seltjarnarnes peninsula which is within the greater Reykjavík area, to check if the Northern Lights are visible.

Duration: ~9 hours
