Gullfoss Waterfall
Gullfoss, often referred to as the "Golden Falls," is one of Iceland's most iconic and breathtaking natural wonders. This majestic waterfall is located in the canyon of the Hvítá river in southwest Iceland, forming part of the Golden Circle tourist route. Gullfoss is renowned for its awe-inspiring beauty as it cascades in two tiers, plummeting into a deep gorge with tremendous force. Visitors are captivated by the sheer power and grandeur of the waterfall. The surrounding landscape adds to the spectacle, with rugged cliffs and dramatic rock formations framing the roaring waters.
Optional Snowmobiling on Langjökull Glacier
You will first gear up with an insulated all-in-one jumpsuit, giant mittens and safety helmet. You will then receive instructions for handling these powerful machines. Led by the experienced mountain guide, the snowmobiles shoot off in single file for an hour of often high-speed driving along the carefully chosen route over the glacier.
Geysir Hot Springs
Geysir Hot Spring and the geothermal area, located on the edge of the Southwest Highlands in Haukadalur Valley, are south of Gullfoss Waterfall and Langjökull Glacier in Southwest Iceland.
Geysir Hot Spring sometimes referred to as ‘The Great Geysir” (Spouting Hot Spring) is the namesake of all of the world’s geysers. The Great Geysir was the first geyser described in a printed source and the first known to modern Europeans.
Geysir Hot Spring is located in a highly geothermal active area, and while the mighty Geysir has stopped spouting, another magnificent geyser named Strokkur, only 50 meters away, erupts every few minutes, hurling boiling water up to as high as 50 meters, a truly unforgettable sight.
