Winter Escape

Combining the comfort of a modern hotel with the unique wonders of Icelandic nature,
Hotel Húsafell invites you to discover our hidden corner of Iceland's otherworldly Highlands.

Enjoy a relaxed walk among natural wonders not found in many guidebooks, including the spectacular two-tiered waterfall Langifoss. 

You will also learn about Iceland’s renewable energy practices, cross an icy stream of glacial meltwater. The highlight of this excursion is a serene soak in Giljaböð Canyon Baths, a surreal hot spring paradise that has to be seen to be believed.

Experience the serene beauty of the Húsafell Canyon Baths, a stunning hike through the remote Icelandic wilderness that concludes with a soothing geothermal soak in pools nestled within a magnificent highland canyon. 

Begin your adventure with a short ride from the Húsafell Activity Centre, followed by a relaxed walk through surreal landscapes that include the breathtaking two-tiered Langifoss waterfall and the site of Okjökull, Iceland's first glacier claimed by climate change.

The highlight of this tour is undoubtedly the Canyon Baths themselves. Choose between two geothermal pools with temperatures ranging from 30-41°C (86-105°F), each offering spectacular views of the surrounding canyon, mountains, and glaciers. 

The Húsafell locals have designed these baths using environmentally sustainable practices, incorporating local materials like flagstone from the canyon floor and repurposed timbers from nearby areas, making the entire experience authentically Icelandic.

Enjoy an hour of pure relaxation in this surreal hot spring paradise, where you can recharge and breathe in the crisp Icelandic air before returning to Hotel Húsafell. Private tours are also available for those seeking a more exclusive experience. 

Please note, the tour’s availability can be affected by weather conditions, so plan accordingly to ensure the best experience.

Your Into The Glacier Adventure is truly a unique experience.

You will get the opportunity of a lifetime to enjoy one of the world’s greatest wilderness; Iceland’s second largest glacier – from the inside!

Never before the Langjokull ice tunnels has anyone been able to see the beautiful blue ice at the heart of an ice cap glacier.

You’ll get to drive in a specially modified snow truck on the glacier, explore the glacier environment, enjoy a view out of this world and go INTO the glacier to experience the glacier’s beauty from the inside!

An experienced guide will lead the way the whole time to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves to the fullest.

It´s time to take ice cap glacier exploration to a whole new level.

Imagine stepping into the heart of Iceland's majestic underground world, where the echoes of ancient volcanic eruptions tell tales of a fiery past.

As you descend into the captivating Víðgelmir cave, you are greeted by a realm of otherworldly beauty, with stunning lava formations that have remained untouched for centuries.

The air is filled with a sense of mystery, and the dim light reveals intricate patterns etched into the walls by the hands of time.

Walking through the largest lava cave in Iceland, you’ll find yourself immersed in the dramatic history and geological wonders that only such a secluded environment can offer.

Each step is an exploration of Iceland's natural marvels, from the grand lava tubes to the delicate ice formations.

This is not just a tour; it's a journey into the volcanic underworld that will leave you with memories as awe-inspiring as the sights you behold.

Víðgelmir cave is amongst the best preserved caves in Iceland where 1100 year old lava formations can be explored. Furthermore, the cave is the largest lava tube in Iceland at 1585m long and 16.5m wide. 

The cave has stalactites from the ceiling and stalagmites from the ground.

The paved walkway and installed lights provide an easy walk for those less confidents.

Part of travelling is experiencing local food and tradition. Our wild dining experience is set up in a secret location. Our private chefs will create a meal according to all you needs and taste, based on seasonal ingredients and Icelandic cuisine. 

This can be from Arctic Tapas or Picnic to a 5 star fine dining experience. Various dietary options available (kosher, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, etc.). 

Surrounded by a forest, deep into a lava cave, by the shores of a red-sand beach or on the top of a glacier, we bring the restaurant to you and use the unspoiled Icelandic landscape as our venue! Depending on the season, feast under the Northern Lights and/or the Midnight Sun!

We offer snowmobile tours for individuals and groups from our base camps on the east side of Langjökull glacier. This is a great choice for those who have their own transportation and want to top off the Golden Circle with something special. We offer daily departures from Gullfoss Café where you can park your car and grab some lunch. Our monster truck will then take you up to Langjökull glacier. Our professional guides will take you on a 1-hour snowmobile adventure in the Icelandic highlands, giving you the most amazing views of the majestic glacier and its surroundings.

Sailing out from the Old Harbour in Reykjavik city to see the unique northern lights, in only 10-15min we will be in a great location to see them as we are a little further away from the city lights. 

The guide on deck will tell you more about the aurora borealis and the science behind this natural magic phenomenon!
