This private tour is a great choice for those who like beautiful scenery, waterfalls, short hikes, history, geology and glaciers.
The first stop is the historic Þingvellir National Park, where the Vikings established the parliament in the year 930. The area is also known for it´s geological wonders, the rift valley being the most visual wonder. The valley is being created by the drift of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. You can literally stand at the end of the North American plate and look over to Europe, a unique experinece.
Þingvellir is a part of UNESCO World Heritage.
Geysir Hot-spring area is the second sight, the area has many hot springs, one of the Geysers ( Strokkur) erupts every few minutes, another unique experience.
The third sight is Gullfoss waterfall.
Finally we come to the cherry on the top, that´s the drive to Langjökull glacier or the area around the glacier.
A great add on is a Snowmobiling tour on Langjökull glacier
