Our first stop is the remarkable Deildartunguhver hot springs - Europe’s most powerful geothermal spring. With an impressive flow rate of 180 liters (47.6 gallons) per second, this intensely hot spring plays a key role in heating homes across the region. As we explore the geothermal area, you'll walk past steaming vents and bubbling pools, with water temperatures reaching a scorching 97°C (207°F) - a dramatic display of Iceland’s raw natural energy.
Next, we’ll visit two of the most stunning waterfalls in western Iceland, where you will also have time for lunch. First is Hraunfossar, a unique series of gentle cascades that seem to flow straight out of the lava field, forming a mesmerizing network of crystal-clear streams. Just a short walk away lies Barnafoss, a dramatic contrast with its powerful, twisting waters rushing through a narrow canyon. The vibrant pastel-blue water foams as it crashes through the rock—some say it looks like a churning blue milkshake! Both waterfalls originate from an ancient lava field formed thousands of years ago. Your guide will share the captivating myths tied to the area and offer fascinating insights into the geological forces behind Iceland’s awe-inspiring waterfalls.
If you select the Ice Tunnel activity you will ride a monster truck up Langjökull Glacier. The unique Langjökull Ice Tunnel is the largest of its kind in the world. You'll spend an hour exploring its frozen corridors, stopping off at the built-in chapel.
