• Laxnes Horse Farm - Known for their small yet robust statures, gentle temperaments, and unique fifth gait (tölt), the Icelandic horse breed has remained virtually unchanged since it was first brought to Iceland during the Viking Age in the 9th century. You’ll ride out into the picturesque Icelandic landscape of Laxnes, just outside the city of Reykjavik, and experience the land in a manner similar to that of the early settlers. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rider, this tour is a wonderful way to enjoy roaming the Icelandic countryside.
• Golden Circle Route - Iceland’s most popular sightseeing route.
• Thingvellir National Park - Visit Thingvellir National Park, a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. This is where Icelandic democracy began more than 1,000 years ago on the fields of parliament (Thingvellir), and it’s also where two tectonic plates are gradually separating, creating a gorgeous landscape of steep cliffs and broad fields featuring Thingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
• Geysir - Visit the Geysir geothermal area with its boiling mud pits, steam vents, and Geysir, the namesake of all geysers.
• Gullfoss Waterfall - Next up, you will see one of the most popular and powerful waterfalls in Iceland, Gullfoss (golden falls). The roar of the Hvita River falling over two tiers into the gorge below is exhilarating and on sunny days creates rainbow upon rainbow. With your camera and a good raincoat, you’ll be able to capture the beauty of the waterfall and its rainbows from several angles by way of the paths available around the waterfall, including one that leads to its bottom.
• Strokkur - A geyser that erupts on a regular basis to the delight, and sometimes surprise, of onlookers.
