The waterfall Gullfoss is something you will never forget and to some people it is the queen of Icelandic waterfalls. High and mighty, it looks at you before it tumbles violently into a deep gorge. We also visit the geothermal area in Haukadalur where you see geysers erupt. Strokkur is one of the largest and most powerful geysers and it erupts almost every 10 minutes.
We visit Nesjavellir, a high-temperature geothermal area which supplies about 25% of the hot water needed to provide central heating to Reykjavík, on our way to Þingvellir. Þingvellir is a national park of great historical significance as it is where the first parliament was founded over 1,000 years ago. At Þingvellir you will see how the earth is every so slowly pulling apart along the crustal plates and you will be able to stand where the viking settlers stood centuries ago.
There is also an optional excursion to snowmobile on Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier.
