Highlights
  • Walk through the Viðgelmir Lava Cave
  • Encounter the Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls
  • Visit the Reykholt historic site
Full description

After being picked up from your accommodation, you will travel west to the historic area of Borgarfjörður, a region that can be regarded as the setting for most of the Icelandic sagas. First, visit the charming Glanni Waterfall and Deildartunguhver Geothermal Area. Afterward, you will see the great Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls spread at a distance of around 900 meters. The waters flow out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field that was formed around 1,000 years ago during a massive eruption of a volcano lying under a Langjökull glacier. Rivulets streaming from the lava field create one of the most breath-taking views in Iceland, and just a few meters away, you will find another interesting waterfall.  The highlight of the tour is a visit to a colorful Vidgelmir lava cave. Just shy of 1,600 meters in length, the cave features amazing colors and lava formations that lurk in the depths of the earth. The area surrounding the entrance to the cave will allow you to realize just how powerful eruptions of volcanoes can be. Lastly, visit the Reykholt historic site where you can learn about the history of Iceland and see Snorralaug, small hot spring used by local people since the 12th century. This place was first mentioned in medieval writings OF Snorri Sturluson, the famous Icelandic poet, and politician who used to bathe there.

It was amazing to see the hot springs up close & to go into the lava cave. We were there with my parents-in-law & my mother-in-law who is 78, thoroughly enjoyed going into the cave. My father-in-law, who's 79, has difficulty walking, so he chose to sit in the cafe while we were in the cave. The cafe had windows looking out over the lava flow, so he enjoyed speaking to the guide & looking at the scenery. The guides who took us through the cave were very knowledgeable & enthusiastic & took great care of our safety. The walkway was made of wood & was wet underground, but the hand rails stopped us from slipping. The stalagmites & colours inside the cave were stunning.

West iceland is definitely worth seeing. We fitted in everything possible and a bonus visit to some excellent craters. We were given sufficient stops to eat , use restrooms and stock up. I forgot phone charger. But guide lent me a spare set of leads.

The lava tunnel was awe inspiring, with ice forming stalagmites from the overhead drip. The lava formations within the tunnel, were amazing and the guide was extremely informative about the geology of the formation of the tunnel. The waterfalls were breathtaking, with the glacier runoff providing a blue hue to the falls, contrasting the rest of the river they flowed into.
