Explore the home of the Icelandic Sagas on our Silver Circle Day tour of the wild landscapes of West Iceland, visiting magical waterfalls, spectacular canyon baths, powerful hot springs and much more.

The tour starts in Reykjavik and heads to Borgarnes, the gateway to West Iceland. Deildartunguhver is the first sight on the tour - the most powerful hot spring in Europe.

Next on our Icelandic tour is Sturlureykir, a traditional horse farm with a warm, family atmosphere. Meet the kind Icelandic horses, famous for their strength and gentle nature, and learn how the farm’s geothermal hot spring has provided hot water since 1907. Using this same natural heat, the family bakes rugbraud, Iceland’s beloved geothermal bread, soft, sweet, and served warm with coffee

After spending some time walking amongst the Icelandic Horses at Sturlureykir farm, we’ll move onto Hraunfossar, also known as the “Lava Waterfalls”.

Hraunfossaris a majestic waterfall that stretches for nearly a kilometre over ancient lava fields, with meltwater from the Langjokull glacier pouring into the Hvita river, seen from several viewing platforms. Just a few yards away is Barnafoss, also known as “the waterfall of the children”.

Our next stop is Husafell, a breathtaking woodland oasis and a historical site with traditional turf houses and even some “elf huts” to delight the children too.

From Husafell, you’ll now be transported further inland to the Deildargil Canyon, where you’ll see Langifoss, a towering two-tiered waterfall. Very few people know about Langifoss, as it’s not mentioned on many maps, so this is a special treat.

The best part of the tour comes next, as we take you to the Canyon Baths, an enchanting and exclusive experience, a traditional Icelandic hotpot found deep in the magnificent Hringsgil canyon. Three geothermally-heated stone pools of varying temperatures (30-41C or 86-105F), have been built here, along with a cold-water pot and a cooling waterfall, using traditional methods and materials. Sustainably built in a remote location, it’s a wonderful place in which to relax and unwind, imagining what it was like for the early settlers to bathe in the same way.

The Canyon Bath are situated in a protected natural environment, so that means no s
