        Join this tour and prepare to spend time enjoying some of the natural splendours that have helped make Iceland famous. We will leave the port for a bus transfer to the lovely Thingvellir National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated 30 miles from Reykjavik. This park is a must during any visit to Iceland; we will experience one of the most outstanding sceneries in the Country, a vast lava plain of green moss and wild flowers. This site is regarded by Icelanders as a sacred place and the world’s oldest legislative parliament was founded here. Next stop will be the huge Gullfoss or “golden” Waterfall; this twin cascade is one of the most powerful in Europe and there are some amazing views from here. Our third visit takes in the Iceland Geysers, which, together with Thingvellir Park and Gullfoss, form the “Golden Circle” tourist route. Here we will see nature in all her glory as we marvel at the hissing hot springs and other geothermal phenomena and it is in this surreal environment that we will have lunch. Return to the port.

      Adventurous passengers will love this special excursion that lets you enjoy the scenery of Iceland aboard a special “super truck” jeep. Built to weather exceptionally tough conditions, we will ride these jeeps out to rocky landscapes carved by the forces of nature and time. The excursion begins with a transfer to Nesjavellir Power Plant, which formally opened in 1990 to create the biggest high-temperature field in Iceland and which is now one of the main sources of heat for homes in Reykjavik. From here you will take the gravel road along the lake Thingvallavatn, driving across the lush farmlands of the south through a constantly changing landscape. We will arrive at the birch forests of Trastarlundur where we will stop for a short break before driving on a special jeep track known as “The Thousand Waters”; you will pass a series of rivers, mud banks and streams.

      We will leave the port and drive to the enchanting Kleifarvatn Lake, one of the deepest lakes in Iceland, where we will stop briefly to take pictures. Next we will continue to the geothermal fields of Krysuvik to witness the powerful jets of steam that spurt from deep below the earth’s crust; we will admire the solfatara and the multicoloured pools of boiling muds before reaching the bustling village of Grindavik and the Blue Lagoon. The Lagoon owes its existence to the nearby geothermal power plant; the waters of the lagoon remain at a warm 37°-39°C and are rich in minerals and renowned for their healing properties. After viewing the Lagoon we will drive over the lava-covered Reykjanes Peninsula to the outskirts of the little town of Njardvik to visit the newly-built Viking Museum.

          Treat yourself to an amazing outing to the rugged volcanic landscape of the Reykjanes peninsula, which is located a short distance to the south of Reykjavik. Safely ensconced in a super-truck, you will first head for Stóra Eldborg, or “big fire city”, a perfectly formed lava ring and crater dating back approx. 3,000 years. An invigorating trek up the steep flanks will reward you with breathtaking views of the lunar-like terrain at the top. A short drive and subsequent walk over uneven mossy ground will then see you go caving in a so-called lava tube, whose nearly undetectable entrance can only be located using GPS. Once you have been issued with a safety helmet and a high-beam torch, your guide will take you into the mysterious depths of the Icelandic underworld. Next up is a visit to the hot springs and fumaroles found at the thermal field of Krysuvík, situated in a fissure zone that crosses Iceland. Lobster soup with freshly baked bread then await you for lunch in the nearby fishing village of Grindavík, after which you will re-board the super-truck for a drive up the mountain that overlooks the famous Blue Lagoon thermal spa before returning to the port. Please note : limited number of guides in languages other than English. Should a tour guide for your language be unavailable, the tour will be provided in English only. This tour is recommended only for guests with a high fitness level. It is not recommended for pregnant women or for guests who suffer from claustrophobia . Due to the substantial walking, hiking and caving the tour entails, it is classified a grade 4 hike.

              After boarding a coach at the pier and leaving the port of Reykjavik, a scenic 45-minute drive will first take you over imposing lava fields dotted with steaming hot springs to reach the Eldhestar – “Volcano Horses” – Farm and Riding Centre, after which an informative horse show will introduce you to the history and characteristics of these unique, hardy Icelandic horses. You will then have time to enjoy some light refreshment at the farm, including a taste of the local “hot-spring bread” – a traditional delicacy that is baked underground using heat from the nearby thermal springs. Next you will travel to Hveragerði, a town known for its pronounced geothermal activity and variety of bubbling hot springs. The village is also famous for its earthquakes, the most recent of which occurred in 2008 and is still firmly imprinted in the minds of the locals. You will visit the tourist information centre to see an exhibition portraying how this “moving experience” affected the local residents, the town’s buildings and its natural environment. A visit will also be paid to the village’s art gallery before you begin your return journey over the mountain pass and through the centre of Reykjavik.

        Prepare to explore and be amazed by Iceland’s untamed volcanic landscape on this tour of hot springs, fumaroles and craters, which begins with a scenic drive from the capital to the Reykjanes Peninsula, an area of extreme geothermal activity. The powerful forces of nature are much in evidence on the peninsula, be it in the sheer rugged beauty of the North Atlantic coastline, the savage bleakness of the seemingly endless lunar-like landscape or in the hardiness of the region’s flora and fauna. The tour also includes a visit to the bird cliffs near the Reykjanes lighthouse, after which you will continue on to an impressive row of volcanic craters, complete with hissing thermal springs that give off a pungent “eggy” odour. Finally, you will move on to the nearby high-temperature thermal field to round off the volcanic leg of the tour. After returning to the port, a stop will be made at one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the remarkable “Perlan” building (The Pearl). Built in 1988, the building features a shiny cupola that sits atop a number of huge tanks containing natural hot water to heat Icelandic homes. The building also contains a man-made “geyser” that spouts a column of water through the inside of the building at regular intervals. As a final treat on the tour, you can enjoy wonderful views of the city’s colourful rooftops from the 1st-floor viewing platform of the Perlan building. A scenic return drive to the port and your ship brings this tour of volcanic Iceland to an end. Please note : limited number of guides in languages other than English. Should a tour guide for your language be unavailable, the tour will be provided in English only.
