Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Iceland’s most historic and scenic locations. It sits in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes with deep fissures and lava fields. The park is also the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD. Visitors can explore its hiking trails, admire the Öxarárfoss waterfall, and even snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure.
Gullfoss, or the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, located on the Hvítá River. It cascades in two dramatic tiers, plunging a total of 32 meters into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, mist from the falls creates stunning rainbows, adding to its breathtaking beauty. Gullfoss is a key stop on the Golden Circle and is known for its raw power and scenic surroundings.
Geysir Geothermal Park, located in the Haukadalur Valley, is home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and erupting geysers. The most famous, Strokkur, erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters high. Though the Great Geysir, which gave all geysers their name, is mostly dormant, the area’s geothermal activity remains a stunning natural spectacle. Visitors can explore colorful mineral deposits and feel the Earth’s intense heat beneath their feet.
Located in Iceland’s Western Volcanic Zone, Kerið is a unique crater lake with striking red volcanic sand due to high iron content, creating a vivid contrast against the blue lake water. The crater is approximately 55 meters deep, with dimensions of 170 meters wide and 270 meters across, offering a stunning sight.
Experience a rare adventure by snorkeling between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Silfra, one of the clearest waters on the planet. Fed by glacial meltwater that filters through lava rock for up to 30 years, Silfra offers visibility exceeding 100 meters. Our guide will dress you in a dry suit and lead you through the four sections of the Silfra Fissure, where you can float in crystal-clear waters and immerse yourself in the beauty of this otherworldly underwater landscape.
