Top Experiences
The three Icelandic Wonders
Þingvellir (Thingvellir National Park), Geysir and Gullfoss (Golden waterfall) are the three must see wonders of Iceland. Þingvellir is a natural wonder on an international scale and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – this natural park is situated on the tectonic plate boundaries of the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The faults and fissures of the area give evidence to the rifting of the earth's crust. Next to discover is the Geysir field, situated at the northern edge of the southern lowlands. This is where you can view the hot springs – in particular Strokkur which is currently the most energetic spouting spring in Iceland. It spouts every few minutes, sometimes to a height of 40 metres. Lastly, but by no means least, is Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s iconic gems. Enjoy the spectacular beauty of untouched nature as Gullfoss flows from Iceland’s second biggest glacier, the Langjökull, and cascades 32 metres down. On a sunny day a shimmering rainbow can be seen over the falls.
Blue Lagoon
Set in the surreal surroundings of an ancient lava field, amidst the natural elements and pure Icelandic air, this geothermal wonder is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate the mind and body. Spoil yourself in the modern spa, with a unique experience of bathing in this world famous lagoon.
