Classic Iceland 4x4 tour to Kaldidalur, Langjökull Glacier, Lava Caves, Hot Springs and Waterfalls.
Enjoy
an amazing tour through a landscape of extreme contrasts, full of
history and geology. We begin our day in Þingvellir National Park, the
site of the ancient Viking parliament dating back to the 10th century.
From there we drive up through the barren mountain pass of Kaldidalur
to the Langjökull for an unforgettable discovery of this enormous
glacier. We continue to Hallmundarhraun to explore Surtshellir one of
Iceland's biggest and most spectacular lava caves. After caving we
visit the unusual waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss and have a
look at one of the world's largest hot springs before returning to
Reykjavík. In winter and spring we might have to alter the itinerary
due to road conditions.
Note: The name Þingvellir is often written as Pingvellir or Thingvellir.
Languages: English (French, Scandinavian or German upon request).
