Itinerary
Þingvellir National Park
Þingvellir is where Iceland’s story as a nation truly began. It’s the site of Alþingi, the world’s oldest still-functioning parliament, first assembled in 930 AD. For centuries, chieftains met here to debate laws and settle disputes under open skies.

Next, you’ll visit the place that gave its name to all geysers. The Great Geysir is the oldest known geyser in Europe, its name derived from the Icelandic word “geysa,” meaning “to gush.”

Gullfoss, or the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Fed by the glacier river Hvítá, the water plunges down two levels—11 meters (36 feet) and 22 meters (71 feet)—into a rugged canyon formed at the end of the last Ice Age.

The final stop is Iceland’s most famous geothermal spa, the Blue Lagoon. Surrounded by dark lava rock and filled with milky-blue, mineral-rich water, this man-made lagoon is fed by superheated water from a nearby geothermal power plant.
