Add an ExtensionTalk about a total immersion experience. As you plunge into the steaming water at your hotel’s private thermal baths, you can’t help but be awed by your surroundings. An hour’s hike has brought you to this secluded canyon, where a simple wooden boardwalk ends in two circular hot pools cradled between otherworldly volcanic ridges. Ahead of you are days of exploring Iceland’s waterfalls, lava caves, and volcanic craters. You’ll get to know our local friends, like the family that runs a stable of Icelandic horses. But leaving civilization behind doesn’t have to be uncivilized on this Iceland hiking tour—your hotel is a modern Nordic beauty, waiting to welcome you back with fireside cocktails and a scrumptious dinner of local seafood or Icelandic lamb.

After breakfast, depart from Reykjavík with your small group and expert guide to visit some of the most iconic attractions in Iceland: Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir geothermal area, and Þingvellir National Park.
At your first stop, Þingvellir National Park, you set off on an invigorating and scenic walk. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and was the location of Iceland’s ancient parliament, first established in 930 AD and convened continuously until 1798. In addition to being a gathering place for chieftains establishing law, it was an open-air meeting place for games, feasts, marriages, and trade. The park is situated on the dramatic rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pull apart, clearly visible at the great Almannagjá (Everyman’s) Gorge which extends almost continuously from Lake Þingvallavatn north to Mt. Ármannsfell. Your hiking trail continues to Lögberg (Law Rock), from which important speeches and announcements were made.
A short drive from Þingvellir takes you to a local tomato farm for a delicious lunch featuring homemade soup and fresh-baked bread and a warm fruit pie for dessert. After lunch you’ll visit Geysir, which gives its name to the worldwide phenomenon, and Strokkur, or the “churn,” which spouts every five minutes. From here, a 10-minute drive takes you to Gullfoss, or Gold Falls; Iceland’s most-famous and most-visited waterfall and a national monument. From Gullfoss you continue (approximately 100 minutes) back to Reykjavík.
Dinner is on your own tonight and hotel staff can assist you with reserving a variety of activities for the following day.

The tour went extremely smoothly, from pickup at the airport to comfortable hotels, and excellent walks to fantastic sights. Our guide Sori was gracious, engaging and very knowledgeable. We had an interesting group of like-minded travelers. Wonderful trip!
Iceland: Reykjavík, Borgarfjord & Lake Mývatn
The trip was wonderful! We had great weather and a wonderful guide. Sori was knowledgeable about all aspects of Icelandic life and culture. He was very accommodating to every request. My only complaint concerns the Icelandic Hotel Myvatn. The location was beautiful but the room was small. There was no available space to put the travel gear for two people.
