Itinerary
Deildartunguhver is a hot spring in Reykholtsdalur, Iceland. It is characterized by a very high flow rate for a hot spring and water emerges at 97 °C. It is the highest-flow hot spring in Europe. Some of the water is used for heating, being piped 34 kilometers to Borgarnes and 64 kilometers to Akranes.
Barnafoss is also known as Bjarnafoss, which was its previous name. Barnafoss is near Hraunfossar which burst out of Hallmundarhraun which is a great lava plain. Barnafoss is a waterfall in Western Iceland, about 100 kilometers from Reykjavík. Barnafoss is on the river Hvítá in Borgarfjörður.
Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 meters out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field that flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökull.
Visit of a local horse farm
Explore the amazing man-made ice tunnel in Langjökull glacier. The biggest ice-tunnel in the world of a total of approx. 600 meter long.

This was incredible. To see and meet horses and learn about them, experience geysers and waterfalls, and then walk on and in a glacier is a once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend to all people. The guide at the cave was aMAZING. Driving in the ice and snow was precarious which made it fun. We could not have had a better time.
Getting to go into ice cave and travel glacier in summer is unique experience. Unfortunately I had bad weather so truck up the glacier couldn't see anything but it was still fun
Amazing and unique experience! Literally Gino to the glacier in a man made cave . Our guide HAFFY was awesome!
Great tour and our guide Paul was wonderful! We enjoyed every stop and learned a lot about Iceland. At the horse farm, we got to try the rye bread baked in the ground, which was a pleasant surprise. The visit inside the glacier was well organized and truly unique. Paul showed us some really interesting sights and explained a lot about Iceland's culture and nature. I highly recommend it.
Ale, Sam, Domenico are the best tour guides ever.
Haffe and Emlar were fantastic guides. They provided a comprehensive overview and background of Iceland. The glacier experience was incredible. My family had an amazing time going on this once in a lifetime adventure.
We had a great guide and we saw unique things like a geo thermal plant, a horse farm where you pat and feed horses and see how Icelandic rye bread is made underground in milk cartons! The 2 waterfalls were really pretty and of course the highlight was going into the glacier. The whole trip was comfortable and safe and managed very well
It was fascinating to go in a tunnel into a glacier. The guide Happy was excellent. He told both stories and facts in a great way. And he was very commited.
Everywhere we went was amazing u have never seen so much snow before they have such nice waterfalls aswell
