About this experience

Great question — here's a compelling explanation of **what sets this tour apart** from others, which you can use in your marketing or tour description:

- A Journey Through Viking History and Living Mythology
Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this experience takes you deep into the heart of Icelandic culture by exploring Borgarfjörður, a region where many of the Icelandic Sagas were born.

- Off-the-Beaten-Path Scenery
While most tours stick close to the Ring Road, we go deeper into West Iceland’s hidden gem. You’ll pass through lava fields, secret waterfalls, and wild landscapes.

- Expert Local Guides
Our guides are not just drivers - they’re passionate storytellers, knowledgeable about Icelandic geology, history, and folklore.

-Private custom experience.
This day is centred around you and you can select the optional extras to visit Krauma Spa or Into the Glacier Ice Tunnel.

Itinerary

  1. Tour stop

    Our first major stop is Deildartunguhver, the most powerful hot spring in Europe. Here, you can witness water bubbling at a near-boiling 97°C (207°F), steaming out of moss-covered lava rocks. This geothermal marvel supplies hot water to much of West Iceland and powers local spas like Krauma.

  2. Tour stop

    Barnafoss ("Children’s Falls") – A powerful, churning waterfall with a tragic legend. According to folklore, two children fell to their deaths here, giving the falls their haunting name. The surrounding landscape, with its natural stone arch and turbulent waters, evokes both beauty and mystery.

  3. Tour stop

    Whether you're here for the sagas, the landscapes, or the warm waters, this tour is your gateway to the true essence of Iceland.
