Detailed Itinerary
Start your Silver Circle Tour in Iceland with pickup from a selected location within Reykjavík. Travel north past Mount Esja and through the tunnel beneath Hvalfjörður towards West Iceland. Make a short stop in Borgarnes for refreshments and views across the fjord. Continue through the countryside of Borgarfjörður to Deildartunguhver, a remarkably powerful geothermal spring. Walk along the designated paths and viewing areas to see steaming geothermal water rising from beneath the ground. Next, visit Sturlureykir, a historic Icelandic horse farm that has used geothermal energy since 1907. Meet the Icelandic horses, see the farm’s natural hot spring and taste traditional rúgbrauð, Icelandic rye bread baked using geothermal heat. Continue to spectacular Hraunfossar, where countless streams of clear water emerge through the Hallmundarhraun lava field and flow into the Hvítá river. Nearby, visit Barnafoss, a powerful waterfall connected to one of West Iceland’s best-known local legends. Explore Húsafell, a scenic area between Eiríksjökull and Langjökull glaciers. Discover a landscape of birch woodland, lava formations and waterfalls before transferring to another vehicle for the journey deeper into the surrounding mountains. Travel along rugged mountain tracks to Langifoss, a secluded two-tiered waterfall in Deildargil canyon. Take an easy path to the viewing area and enjoy this lesser-known part of the Húsafell landscape. The highlight of the day is the secluded Húsafell Canyon Baths in Hringsgil canyon. Relax in three geothermal pools ranging from approximately 30–41°C, surrounded by mountains and peaceful Icelandic nature. There is also a cold-water pot and cooling waterfall. Towel rental and swimming shoes are included with your admission. Finish your Silver Circle sightseeing in historic Reykholt. See Snorralaug, a protected medieval hot spring associated with Icelandic writer and chieftain Snorri Sturluson, and view the historic church before returning to Reykjavík. The complete Silver Circle Tour takes approximately 9 hours.
