Category: Day trip, available directly from Reykjavik in Iceland.
The trip starts with a great rafting trip on Hvítá river, where you will go through fun rapids and even jump from a cliff into the glacier river. Afterwards the showers and sauna are at hand before having lunch at Drumbó basecamp and entering the road again. Next we head out to the geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and only Geysir. There the ground gurgles, bubbles and super heated water escapes from the ground with enormous force. Next we stroll down to Gullfoss, the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls. Gullfoss is an amazing sight, the water rushes down three steps of lava layers with breathtaking power and grandeur. We end the day at Þingvellir National park. Þingvellir is a UNESCO world heritage site and the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world. In addition it is the place where the great tectonic plates of America and Europe meet and the rift valley is clearly visible.
