Tour Itinerary
This popular excursion introduces you to some of the best-known natural phenomena in Iceland. We visit Nesjavellir power plant, high temperature geothermal area situated in the picturesque landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn. We enter Þingvellir, there the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was founded in 930, which makes it the oldest known functioning parliament in the world. Geologically it is unique and there the tectonic plates meet, that is America and Europe, and these continents are slowly drifting apart. We continue to the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss and from there towards the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. We proceed to Skálholt church, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops. On our way back we we travel through fertile agricultural areas to Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural village. Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee visits to Nesjavellir in the wintertime.

Useless visit of the electric plant, it should have been included in the price of the tour or we shouldn't have stopped. Disappointing.

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour. The guide was very funny and very passionate about her country. The northern lights tour from the same company was also really good.
