    Deildartunguhver Thermal Spring

    Our first major stop is Deildartunguhver, the most powerful hot spring in Europe. Here, you can witness water bubbling at a near-boiling 97°C (207°F), steaming out of moss-covered lava rocks. This geothermal marvel supplies hot water to much of West Iceland and powers local spas like Krauma.

    Barnafoss

    Barnafoss ("Children’s Falls") – A powerful, churning waterfall with a tragic legend. According to folklore, two children fell to their deaths here, giving the falls their haunting name.

    Krauma

    Into the Glacier: Langjökull Ice Tunnel Experience (Optional) For those seeking a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, choose the "Into the Glacier" add-on and enter the heart of Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier. Ride in a specially modified glacier vehicle up the icy slopes, then venture inside a man-made tunnel that leads deep into the ancient ice. As you explore the surreal blue corridors, learn about the glacier’s role in Iceland's freshwater system—including how its meltwater becomes the pure tap water enjoyed in Reykjavik. This immersive experience also provides insight into how climate change is affecting Iceland’s glaciers and the communities that depend on them. Note: Entrance is not included in the tour price.

Soak in the natural warmth, try the cold plunge for an invigorating rush, and relax by the fireplace in the minimalist, Icelandic-designed relaxation room.
