Activity Overview
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Reykjavík hotel, signaling the start of an exciting day immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of Iceland.
Our journey takes us first to Lake Kleifarvatn, a tranquil gem set within a dramatic volcanic terrain. This expansive lake is bordered by steep hills and ancient lava fields, presenting an almost ethereal scenery. While you take in the sights, our knowledgeable guide will narrate intriguing tales of the area's complex geological history, illuminating aspects of Iceland’s volcanic past.
Continuing on, we will arrive at the Seltún Geothermal Area, where the Earth's energy reveals itself in magnificent forms! Here, you’ll observe bubbling mud pots, steaming geothermal vents, and vibrant mineral deposits that create a landscape reminiscent of another world. This is a unique opportunity to witness the natural forces that have been molding Iceland over the ages.
Following this, we will stop at a greenhouse in Hveragerði, offering a chance to enjoy a meal. This delightful location is famous for its sustainable practices, benefiting from geothermal energy. You will have a variety of delicious options available, prepared with ingredients sourced from the local area.
Rejuvenated and ready for further exploration, we will hike through the beautiful Reykjadalur Valley, known as "Steam Valley".
