Depart Reykjavik and head for the Thingvellir National Park, where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates converge.

Next, head to the Geysir Hot Spring with geothermal pools reaching temperatures of 200 degrees. Witness the Strokkur geyser erupting a plume of boiling water and steam 100 feet in the air. Grab a bite to eat, before heading to the breathtaking waterfall at Gullfoss. Next, visit the Kerid volcanic crater with its deep blue waters, surrounded by vibrant red rock.

Some breathtaking sights across the southwestern part of Iceland, from the founding place of the nation's first parliament to geysers, waterfalls and a volcanic caldera lake. Icelandic nature is truly stunning, does not disappoint. The Blue Lagoon was over-hyped / overrated - I would've much rather gone for a hike than a dip, there's plenty of thermal baths in the city for people to relax.

This was by far the best day we spent in Iceland. Our guide, Axel, was lovely - he was very friendly and helpful throughout the day. Highlights included wandering around the Kerid Crater, stopping to say hello to some Icelandic horses and seeing the Gullfoss Waterfall. We had plenty of time to stop for lunch, and we were able to wander around before meeting up with the rest of the group at the bus to move on to the next stop. Very glad we did this, a big thank you to Axel ☺️

This tour was one of my favourites, seeing all the beautiful places, having free time to explore them all. The tour guide we had was so informative, friendly and made the trip for me and my partner he was the best tour guide we had out of all the trips we went on.
