   Day 1 — Reykjanesbær

   • We offer a complimentary shuttle service from either Keflavik international airport or a hotel accommodation from Keflavik town to CampEasy office located just 5 minutes drive from the airport.

   • You spend some time visiting this geothermal area, which features steam vents, hot mud pools, and an incredible landscape shaped by the minerals in the ground. You see vibrant hues on steaming surfaces with the Reykjanes lighthouse in the background. This is undoubtedly a place not to miss!
   • Reykjanesbær peninsula´s largest lake, Kleifarvatn, is also among Iceland´s deepest lakes with almost 100 meters in depth. The water comes from the porous lava ground around it and is home to many fishes, particularly anglers! The lake reflects Iceland´s beauty in its simplicity, with lava ground covered in many places by thousand years´ old moss.

   Day 2 — The Golden Circle and Waterfalls

   • Þingvellir National Park is the first point of the famous Golden Circle route. This is not only a geological marvel where Öxará waterfall (or Öxarárfoss) and Silfra Fissure were born out of the continental drift, splitting the earth‘s crust at various locations but it is also an important historical and political site. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage. The park´s visit is free, however, you have to pay a Parking fee, which is not included in the tour´s price.
   • You go for a Rye Bread tour at 11.45 AM where the dough is cooked on the very ground by the geothermal heat and you can, of course, taste it! You then soak in the deliciously warm waters of Fontana Bath from which you have a panoramic view of the lake.
   • You next visit Geysir where the geyser Strokkur shoots its warm water column up to 15 meters in the air. Geysir is the second point on the famous Golden Circle route that you are scheduled to visit.
   • You complete the Golden Circle with a visit to the mighty waterfall Gullfoss which chute impressively drops down in a narrow gorge from 32 meters high. We also recommend you visit Friðheimar Restaurant and Farm, famous for its horse breeding and horse show activities, and its tomato farm entirely run with geothermal energy using biological pest controls. Friðheimar is open for visits and has a restaurant where you can taste their tomatoes' specialties. Note that this is only our recommendation, the admission fee is not included in the tour price. Booking in advance needs to be done by you either by e-mail to fridheimar@fridheimar.is or by a phone call to (+354) 486 8894. If you chose to come here, it will take you 1 hour and 30 minutes, including the driving time from Gullfoss Waterfall.
   • You next visit Kerid volcanic crater, which is located just a 20-minute drive away from Eldhestar. The crater is approximately 3000 years old and is covered with vivid colored grounds in the summer. The crater is a lovely site in its winter coat, particularly when its inner lake catches the sunlight on frosty days. To walk up to the crater, there is a small admission fee to pay, which is not included in the tour price.
   • Seljalandsfoss is a 60 meters high waterfall behind which you can walk. It is a very picturesque site and is therefore widely photographed and featured. Note that entrance to the waterfall area is free; however, there is a parking fee you must pay, which is not included in the tour price.
   • Next, you visit the impressive Skógafoss waterfall which is fed by the melting waters from Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers. This powerful chute provides a unique experience where deafening sounds, water spray, and rainbows surround you as the light reflects on the droplets. Be ready to be amazed!

   Day 3 — Black Sand Beach -Reynisfjara and Glacier Hike

   • Dyrhólaey or Doorhill Island is the remains of what used to be island thousands of years ago. The promenade is a 120 meters rock formation that has a gaping hole in the middle where ships used to sail through. Today, Dyrhólaey is a top-rated site in Iceland and is home to many bird species.
   • Next, you visit the Reynisfjara beach and its well-renowned cliff Reynisfjall. The basalt columns of the cliff wall provide a unique atmosphere to the site. You may like to sit on some of them and gaze away at the three basalt rock formations standing out of the powerful Atlantic Sea. Rumor has it that they are the remains of trolls who wanted to reach the shore but got caught by daylight, which transformed them instantly.
   • You experience today an unforgettable activity in Iceland: a glacier hike on the Sólheimajökull glacier! For 3 hours you walk on its rooftop and learn about its crevasses and fissures, how it was formed, and many more interesting details.
   • FlyOver is a 45-minute original activity where you visit Iceland right from Reykjavík! Suspended 20 meters above the ground with your feet dangling and strapped in a motion seat, you are in front of a semi-spherical screen where you visit Iceland from a flight simulation. The special effects like wind, scents, and mist add the final touch to the experience.
