Golden Circle and Lava Tunnel Tour
Raufarholshellir

Today you will explore the famous Golden Circle with your private guide. Golden Circle encompasses many of Iceland’s most famous landmarks. Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World heritage site and the location of the world's first parliament, Geysir and Gullfoss.

Silfra at Thingvellir is a fissure created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates cutting through Iceland. The Silfra fissure fills with glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.

Geysir is a geothermal area where Strokkur "the butter churn" erupts about every 4-8 minutes. Gullfoss waterfall is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá river which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day shimmering rainbow, can be seen over the falls.

Lava Tunnel Tour - Raufarhólshellir

Embark on a Journey Through Iceland’s Ancient Lava Realms

A journey into Raufarhólshellir is a unique experience and a great opportunity to witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption as one walks in the path of lava that flowed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred east of the Bláfjöll mountains about 5200 years ago. Every winter spectacular ice sculptures are formed inside the entrance of the cave making the experience of visiting the lava tunnel even more breathtaking.

Reynisfjara is a long beach on the South coast of Iceland, near the town of Vik (Vík í Mýrdal). The beach is in a lovely setting of sea stacks, columnar basalt, and glaciers. It is covered with black volcanic ash and dark rocks and hence the nickname "The black sand beach," although Iceland is famous for having countless black sand beaches. Due to its beauty, Reynisfjara Beach is one of Iceland's most popular tourist sites. Dyrhólaey’s most instantly recognizable attraction is the promenade’s massive rock arch, a result of centuries of erosion

Inside the Volcano

The Inside the Volcano Tour

To be able to experience this wonder, all you need is the willingness to do a moderate 45–50 minute hike (to get to the crater) and the guts to descend 120 meters/400 feet to the bottom of the crater in an open cable lift. The hike to the volcano is an integral part of the tour, not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but also because it’s one of only two ways of getting to the base of the volcano. The other option is to use a helicopter.
