About this experience
See West Iceland's Silver Circle on a private day from Reykjavik, away from the busier Golden Circle. Ideal for couples, families and repeat visitors who want waterfalls, hot springs and volcanic landscapes at their own pace.
Drive around the quiet Hvalfjörður fjord, then see Deildartunguhver, Europe's highest-flow hot spring, and Hraunfossar, where water pours out from under a lava field next to Barnafoss. Climb the short path up Grábrók crater, stop in the coastal town of Borgarnes, and return through the Hvalfjörður tunnel.
Expect 7 to 8 hours. Your driver-guide adjusts timing to weather and your interests. Meals are paid locally.
