Your tour begins with a pick up from your accommodation in Reykjavík and
briefing about the adventures that lie ahead over the next two days.
From Reykjavík we will drive west, through the Hvalfjarðargöng tunnel
under the sea and to the Húsafell nature reserve along the Hvítá glacier
river. There we will stop at the Hraunfossar and Barnafossar Waterfalls
and the most powerfull hot spring in Iceland, the Deildartunguhver
before we power onwards and onto the Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s
second biggest glacier measuring roughly 1.021 km2 it is also the second
biggest in Europe. Located between the Eiríksjökll Glacier and
Hofsjökull Glacier, surrounded by high mountains and volcanoes, the
Langjökull reveals scenic views like no other. We will cross the
glacier, driving on the snow and ice in the specially modified super
jeep with a expert glacier guide at the wheel. Descending down to the
Central Highlands at the Hveravellir Hot Springs and mountain chalet we
will take a relaxing dip in the natural hot pots in the area and enjoy
the amazing views and the clear mountain air. Your guide will then
barbeque Icelandic lamb for dinner and we will sleep in the rustic
chalets in Hveravellir.
The second day of adventure begins with a drive along the ancient
trading route between south and north, the infamous Kjölur road. We make
our first stop where we formally leave the highlands behind, there you
will witness one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, the
Golden Waterfalls; Gullfoss. From there we drive a few minutes to the
Geysir Hot Springs where the spouting Strokkur belches a 20 meter high
column of super heated water in to the air every 4 minutes or so. After
lunch you have a choice between two of our greatest adventure trips:
lava caving or snorkeling in the Silfra ravine in Þingvellir.
