Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Spend a day surrounded by glorious Mother Nature on an unforgettable excursion that begins with a scenic drive to Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers incredible views of the Reykjanes Ridge, an aboveground portion of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which separates the Eurasian and North American plates. Then, get ready to climb up 2,200 feet over the mountain pass of Kaldidalur and have your cameras ready to photograph the stunning snow-capped Ok Mountain. Continuing on, you'll make your way to Langj?kull, Europe's second largest glacier. Here, you'll transfer to a heated snow truck for an hour-long tour across the icy wilderness. After lunch in a nearby mountain hut, you'll reboard your coach and venture down into Borgarfj?rdur valley, home of the stunning Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls. Your day's final destination before returning to Reykavik is a stop at Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring.
Special Notes:
This tour is not recommended for passengers with limited mobility. Vehicle does not have easy access and terrain is rough. Not recommended for very young children.Guests are advised to wear warm, layered clothing and good, sturdy shoes - preferably hiking boots.
This tour is subject to weather conditions and can be canceled on a very short notice. Views are weather permitting.
Depending on ship's call, for the most part, the coach will drive through the Kaldidalur valley to Langjokull Glacier. HOWEVER, the Kaldidalur valley is an extremely rugged road for 4x4's only (hence the use of a 38 seater 4x4 coach is used) that is subject to weather conditions and can sometimes be closed to public. Ideally, it's the shortest and adventurous road through rugged landscape to reach the glacier, but depending weather, other roads may be used.
