Itinerary
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Iceland’s Borgarfjörður region, where you’ll experience a mix of natural wonders, history, and thrilling adventures.
Start with a scenic drive from Reykjavik, approximately 1 hour, to Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring. Here, 180 liters of boiling water flow per second, creating a captivating atmosphere with rising steam. Take 10 minutes to explore the site and enjoy the breathtaking geothermal landscape.
Next, drive just 20 minutes to Reykholtkirkja, a charming church in the village of Reykholt, built in 1878. Known for its historical connection to Iceland’s medieval historian Snorri Sturluson, the church offers insight into the region’s rich literary and cultural heritage. Spend 15 minutes here to admire its architecture and stained glass windows.
The adventure continues with a 1-hour drive to Langjökull Glacier, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Upon arrival, gear up for an exciting 40-minute snowmobile ride (20 minutes each way) across the glacier’s snowfields. Your expert guide will provide all the necessary instructions, ensuring a thrilling and safe experience. After your snowmobile ride, you’ll explore the world’s largest ice tunnel, marveling at the unique ice formations and the built-in chapel, an unparalleled sight. This portion of the tour lasts around 2 hours, making it one of Iceland’s most unique adventures.
Finally, after a 1-hour drive, you’ll visit Hraunfossar and Barnafoss, two stunning waterfalls. Hraunfossar’s gentle cascades flow over volcanic rocks, while Barnafoss offers a more dramatic, rushing flow, accompanied by a tragic local legend. Spend 45 minutes exploring these picturesque waterfalls and the surrounding tranquil landscape.
This tour combines Iceland’s natural beauty, history, and adventure, including the rare opportunity to experience Langjökull Glacier with a snowmobile ride and ice tunnel exploration, offering a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.
