Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Dit første stop er Bifröst i Vest-Island, et navn du måske genkender fra den nordiske mytologi. Her besøger du Glanni-vandfaldet, som giver en mytisk følelse til det, der ofte beskrives som grænsen mellem menneskets og gudernes riger. Faldene falder i flere trin over de gamle lavafelter i Grábrókarhraun. Når du tager i Glanni, vil du også have en klar udsigt over de tre Grábrók vulkanske kratere stiger over de omkringliggende felter.
Deildartunguhver er første syn på turen - den mest magtfulde varme kilde i Europa, som er så stærk, at den giver varmt vand og strøm til lokalbefolkningen i miles rundt. Efter at have brugt lidt tid på at gå mellem de dampende skyer af damp ved Deildartunguhver, bevæger vi os ind på Hraunfossar, også kendt som “Lavavandfaldene”.
Nyd et uforglemmeligt besøg på den islandske hestegård Sturlureykir. Du kan komme så tæt som du vil på disse smukke venlige dyr og derefter nyde nogle hjemmelavet "varmt forårsbred" kaldet rugbraud på islandsk med en dejlig kop kaffe eller iskoldt vand.
Vores sidste stop er i Reykholt, som tidligere var middelalderhjemmet til Snorri Sturluson, en berømt islandsk historiker og høvding. Her finder du Snorralaug (Snorris pool), en anden traditionel naturlig varm kilde, hvor de lokale har badet siden det 12. århundrede. Derfra vender vi dig tilbage til hovedstaden efter en dag med undring og udforskning i det vilde vestlige Island.
Hraunfossar er et majestætisk vandfald, der strækker sig i næsten en kilometer over gamle lavafelter, med smeltevand fra Langjokull-gletscheren, der strømmer ud i Hvita-floden, set fra flere udsigtsplatforme.
Bare et par meter væk ligger Barnafoss, også kendt som "børnenes vandfald", et navn, det blev givet, da to lokale børn tragisk faldt ned fra en stenbro i vandet her. Den sørgende mor fik broen ødelagt for at redde andre fra hendes triste skæbne.
Vores næste stop er Husafell, en betagende skovoase og et historisk sted med traditionelle torvhuse og endda nogle "alvehytter", der også glæder børnene. Du vil også se spændende værker af lokale kunstnere såvel som den berømte "Lifting Stone of Husafell". Fra Husafell bliver du nu transporteret i 4WD-biler længere inde i landet til Deildargil Canyon, hvor du vil se Langifoss, et tårnhøje to-trins vandfald. Meget få mennesker kender til Langifoss, da det ikke er nævnt på mange kort, så dette er en særlig godbid.
Den bedste del af turen kommer derefter, da vi tager dig til Canyon Baths, en fortryllende og eksklusiv oplevelse, en traditionel islandsk hotpot, der findes dybt i den storslåede Hringsgil-kløft. Tre geotermisk opvarmede stenbassiner med forskellige temperaturer (30-41 ° C eller 86-105 ° F) er blevet bygget her sammen med en koldt vandkande og et kølevandfald ved hjælp af traditionelle metoder og materialer. Canyonbadene er også et ekstremt fredeligt og afslappende sted, da de ikke tillader mere end tyve besøgende ad gangen. Bæredygtigt bygget et fjerntliggende sted er det et vidunderligt sted at slappe af og slappe af og forestille sig, hvordan det var for de tidlige bosættere at bade på samme måde. Canyonbadet er beliggende i et beskyttet naturmiljø, så det betyder, at der ikke kan bruges sæber i bruserne, men gæsterne er også velkomne til at bruge faciliteterne på Husafell gratis. Badesko og håndklæder leveres også til dig.

Have proper rain gear and hat and mittens and be prepared to see things never seen before. Knowledgeable guide and careful driver.
We visited three hot springs during our trip to Iceland. On the day we went to the canyon it was raining , and besides our family of 4 there was only one traveler. This place was so relaxing and peaceful. The spring was surrounded by mountains with gorgeous views. My mom loved it so much that she keeps talking about it. I definitely recommend it.
Ahhh, bless her! Thank you very much for the nice words!
This tour takes in some stunning but often overlooked sites. Firstly, a magnificent waterfall, with sunrise enhancing its beauty. Then an unhurried visit to a lovely Icelandic horse farm; and an opportunity to meander with them in the fields. Then to an even more astonishing set of waterfalls - lovely little walk around these to the various viewing platforms. And the day ended with a gorgeous afternoon bath in the canyon baths (which I had to myself - incredible) but even at peak only accept 20 people so never busy. Nestled in a deep canyon, these baths are small but stunning - and very civilised with changing rooms and a small bar for a glass of wine! This was my favourite tour in Iceland. It felt authentic, off the beaten track and I saw some of the most gorgeous scenery of all. Guide was educational but not overbearing - knew how to balance information with a bit of quiet time/music to enjoy the scenery. Loved it. Highly recommend
Ahhhh, thank you so much! It was so nice to read this review!
This was a small group which was really nice only 6 persons on this tour. Our guide Kristina was very personable and knowledgeable actually her voice was really soothing. The waterfalls were amazing as always Loved the horses and the dogs were a plus. I enjoyed the sweet rye with butter...yum. I love anything with butter. Anywho the topper was the Canyon thermal bath....A....mazing...totally relaxing way to end the day! Also when we went to the buffet the lamb stew was really good....thumbs up. Small group phenomenal guides, tasty food and thermal baths....a winner all around!!!!
Walter had great energy and the canyon baths were magnificent. I highly recommend jumping in the cold river at some point and also drink some of the river water! Delicious!
We really appreciate these nice words :) All the best, Nicetravel Team
I had an amazing time, our tour guide Walter is very engaging and fun, the thermal bath in the canyon was very relaxing, would definitely recommend people I know to join this tour.
Thanks for such a nice review :) We really appreciate that! All the best, Nicetravel Team
Visiting Canyon Baths was an amazing experience! The place is peaceful, the water is warm, and the view is stunning. I really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it to anyone traveling in Iceland.
thank you for this nice review! We really appreciate that! All the best, Nicetravel Team
Wonderful tour! Our guide, Walter, was very knowledgeable and fun!!! The Canyon Baths were beyond amazing! The geothermal baths were spectacular!
Ahhhh, what a Nice outing! We are glad you had a great time!
This was an unbelievably beautiful tour, led by an experienced, witty and knowledgeable guide, Thormodur. We got to see amazing landscapes, visit a horse farm, and bathe in hot baths (very private and remote!) in the most incredible canyon. Can’t recommend enough.
Hi Shilpa, thank you for your nice review! We are very glad to see that Iceland left such an impression and our guide made this day even better We do hope to see you again with us exploring another part of Iceland :)
We had been on another tour company before this one (both equally good - we recommend smaller groups) but we enjoyed our guide Monica, who was very personable and fun. We ended up visiting a few more sites than what was on the itinerary because we were the only ones going to the Canyon Baths. Canyon Baths were the highlight of the tour - super relaxing and secluded, highly recommend
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience, Luke! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a great time with Monica — she’ll be happy to hear your kind words. It’s always a bonus when we can add a few extra stops, and we're thrilled the Canyon Baths were a highlight for you — they really are something special! We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Nicetravel adventure soon :) All the best Vesna / NICETRAVEL
