Explore the Western part of Iceland. Visit Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls as well as the Deildartunguhver – the most powerful hot spring in Europe. The highlight of this tour is a visit inside the stunning Vidgelmir Lava Cave. All admissions are included in the price.

You’ll be picked up at your accommodation and swept off west to the historic area of Borgarfjordur – the region that can be regarded as the setting for most of the Icelandic sagas. First, you’ll visit Deilartunguhver - the most powerful hot spring in Europe. Then it is time for the Reykholt historic site. There you can learn about the history of Iceland and see Snorralaug – a 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.

Next, you will see the great Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls spread at a distance of around 900 m. The waters flow out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field that was formed around 1000 years ago during a massive eruption of a volcano lying under a Langjökull glacier. Hraunfossar is often called “Lava Waterfalls”. Rivulets streaming from the lava field create one of the most breathtaking views in Iceland. Just a few meters away you will find another interesting waterfall – Barnafoss. Its name, “the waterfall of the children,” comes from an accident tale that is said to have taken place here in a previous century. There was a natural stone bridge over the waterfall, and two children from a nearby farm fell to their deaths crossing the river on the bridge. Afterward, the grief-stricken mother had the bridge destroyed.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the colorful Vidgelmir Lava Cave, featuring amazing colors and lava formations that lurk in the depths of the earth. During this 1,5 hour long expedition, you will have a chance to see one of the largest lava caves in Iceland with its stunning lava stalactites and stalagmites. The area surrounding the entrance to the cave will allow you to realize the immense power of volcanic eruptions.
