This day tour begins in Reykjavik and from there we drive to Thingvellir National Park, site of the ancient Viking parliament which dates back to 930 AD. Next we drive through the barren mountain pass of Kaldidalur (the Cold Valley) to Langjökull glacier where we will strap on some crampons (summer only) for an easy glacier walk under professional supervision, of course. In winter, we deflate our monster size tires and take our super jeeps for a ride on the glacier.
From Langjökull glacier, we continue to Hallmundarhraun, a lava area where Surtshellir, one of Iceland's biggest and most spectacular lava caves is to be found. After caving, we will continue down the Borgarfjördur valley and visit the waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss. Then, we pass the historic site of Reykholt and have a look at Europe's largest hot spring before returning to Reykjavik via the Hvalfjördur fjord. In winter and spring we might have to alter the itinerary due to road conditions.
