Fly to Iceland, a place of dramatic contrasts where steaming lava fields reflect a volcanic nature and where massive glaciers sculpt mountains and valleys, leaving thundering waterfalls and plunging fjords. Discover a land and culture forged by fire and ice. Your private driver will pick you up at the airport and take you to Blue Lagoon en route to your hotel for the evening. 

 

The South Shore is one of the most popular regions of Iceland for a number of reasons. The waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skogarfoss tumbling over high rock escarpments are amazing. Other highlights include the stone arch Dyrholaey with its sheer cliffs, the picturesque setting of Vik village, the row of glaciers towering over the scenery, and the Reynisdrangar rock pillars (some say they are petrified trolls) decorating the black beach of Reynihverfi. 

 

Start by exploring the hidden world in and under the lava field located in the Blue Mountains only 25 minutes drive from Reykjavik. Walking down into the lava cave and discovering the marvels that volcanic activity has created in the past is a trip that is suitable for everyone. During your underworld adventure, you will have the chance to witness the magical rock formations left behind in the last volcanic eruption. During the winter, the cave is likely to be filled with glistening icicles of all shapes and sizes, making it a truly beautiful experience. 

 

Thingvellir National Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site) is Iceland's greatest historical site and a place of tremendous geological interest located by Lake Thingvallavatn, the largest lake in Iceland. The beautiful canyon running through the park is actually the meeting point of two of the earth's tectonic plates. In this are, the oldest form of parliament began meeting in 930 AD. A short ride across fertile farmlands in the south reveals the breathtaking Gullfoss 'Golden' Waterfall -- a huge, majestic waterfall that pours thousands of tons of icy water down in double falls into a deep canyon. And, only a few minutes away you will visit the Geysir Geothermal Area, where bubbling hot springs and geysers are abundant. Here, you will also find Strokkur, the most active geyser in the area, spouting up to 25-30 meters.
