"SILVER CIRCLE + VÍOGELMIR LAVA CAVE" Private Tour
Highlights: If you are looking for an adventure in Iceland, you might want to consider visiting some of the natural wonders in the west of the country. Here are some of the attractions you can explore:
- Hvalfjörður bay is a scenic fjord in western Iceland, about 30 km north of Reykjavík. It is the site of the second-longest bridge in Iceland, which spans 622 meters across the water. The bay is also known for its historical and cultural significance, as it was the location of a major naval base during World War II and a whaling station until 1989. Today, Hvalfjörður bay attracts visitors who enjoy hiking, fishing, birdwatching and exploring the natural beauty of the area.
- Hraunfossar waterfall: A series of waterfalls that flow from under the lava fields into the Hvítá river. The contrast between the turquoise water and the dark lava is stunning.
- Barnafoss waterfall: A powerful waterfall that runs through a narrow gorge. According to a legend, it was named after two children who fell into the river and drowned while crossing a natural stone bridge.
- Deildartunguhver hot spring: The most voluminous hot spring in Europe, producing 180 liters of boiling water per second. The water is used for heating nearby towns and for the geothermal baths at Krauma.
- Geothermal Baths Krauma: A relaxing spa that offers five natural hot tubs, a cold tub, two saunas, and a relaxation room with a fireplace. The water is a mix of hot spring water and cold glacial water from Langjökull.
- Langjökull Snowmobile & Glacier Cave combo: A thrilling tour that takes you on a snowmobile ride on the second largest glacier in Iceland, and then inside a man-made ice cave that reveals the beauty of the glacier from within.
- Víðgelmir lava tube: The largest and most impressive lava cave in Iceland, with colorful rock formations, ice sculptures, and ancient lava stalactites and stalagmites. You can walk through the cave with a guide and a helmet with a light.
- Canyon Baths: A new geothermal pool that is located in a remote canyon near Husafell. The pool is surrounded by nature and offers a panoramic view of the mountains and the river.
- Husafell area: A popular destination for outdoor activities, such as hiking, golfing, horse riding, and camping. You can also visit the Husafell Stone, a large boulder that was used to test the strength of Icelandic men in the past.
