Follow the trail to the medieval site of Reykholt to discover the legacy of Snorri Sturluson at Snorralaug, a beautifully preserved geothermal pool from the Saga era. Witness the immense power of Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most productive hot spring, before rounding out your journey with a scenic drive through the rugged cliffs of Whale Fjord. This Silver Circle route offers a masterclass in Iceland's volcanic origins and deep cultural heritage.

Discover the Silver Circle

Rejuvenate at Krauma Baths (Optional)

Consider an optional visit to rejuvenate at Krauma Baths. Sourced from Europe's most powerful hot spring, this sleek geothermal spa features five mineral-rich pools and two steam baths, creating a high-end wellness experience tucked into the raw lava fields of Borgarfjörður.

Rejuvenate at Krauma Baths (Optional)

Explore the Snæfelssnes Peninsula

Venture onto the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, a region defined by the crowning Snæfellsjökull volcano that famously served as the gateway in Jules Verne’s "Journey to the Center of the Earth." Explore the black church at Búðir and the rugged cliffs of Arnarstapi to witness the stone bridge at Hellnar, where the North Atlantic has carved deep into the coastline. Head to the north side of the peninsula to see Kirkjufell mountain and its accompanying waterfall Kirkjufellsfoss, the most iconic landmarks of the west. Your journey concludes along the quiet waters of Hraunsfjörður Bay, providing a final vantage point to take in the volcanic peaks and hidden inlets that define the region.

Itinerary

Day 1

Reykjavik pick up

This morning you’ll be picked up in Reykjavik by your designated driver-guide who will take you on your multiday adventure around Iceland.

Volcanic land

Continuing our journey, we make our way to Deildartunguhver, Europe's mightiest hot spring, where nature's power is on full display as boiling water gushes from the earth, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Waterfalls of the West

Next, we head to Hraunfossar and Barnafossar, enchanting waterfalls nestled amidst lava fields and moss-covered rocks. Their crystalline waters cascading down rugged cliffs offer a mesmerizing sight that's sure to leave a lasting impression.

Optional Krauma Baths

Surrounded by peaceful countryside views, this is the perfect place to slow down, rejuvenate, and take in the quiet beauty of rural Iceland.

Day 2

Ytri-Tunga Seal Beach
