Highlights of the Silver Circle with Canyon Bath Tour

Deildartunguhver

Commence your West Iceland adventure with a convenient pickup from your Reykjavik accommodation. Our scenic route takes you through the breathtaking Mount Esja and a tunnel beneath Hvalfjordur to Borgarnes. A brief stop allows you to savor refreshments while soaking in astonishing views of the broad fjord.

Venturing inland, we head to Deildartunguhver, Europe’s most powerful hot spring, where over 180 liters of boiling water per second provide heat for local towns. Walk safely on boardwalks, immersed in billowing clouds of vapor, or observe the springs from a viewing platform.

Hraunfossar and Barnafoss

Continue deeper into West Iceland to witness the mesmerizing Hraunfossar, a series of waterfalls spanning nearly a kilometer across the Hallmundarhraun lava field. Crystal-clear waters cascade over volcanic cliffs, fed by the nearby Langjokull glacier. Nearby, discover Barnafoss, the “Waterfall of the Children,” with a poignant story tied to its powerful falls.

Husafell

Enter the magical realm of Husafell, nestled between Eiriksjokull and Langjokull glaciers, boasting birch tree forests, waterfalls, and traditional turf houses. Marvel at the Husafell Stone, testifying to the strength of locals, and explore the fairytale setting with its artistic displays.

Langifoss and Deildargil

Switch to a specially prepared 4WD vehicle for an exclusive journey along rugged mountain passages. Encounter Langifoss, a spectacular two-tiered waterfall, and Deildargil canyon, hidden gems seldom marked on maps but revealed through our tour.

Husafell Canyon Baths

The pinnacle of your adventure awaits at Husafell Canyon Baths, an authentic Icelandic hotpot experience in the serene Hringsgil canyon. Three geothermally-heated pools, ranging from 30-41°C (86-105°F), a cold-water pot, and a refreshing waterfall offer a luxurious soak amidst stunning landscapes. Limited to twenty visitors, this exclusive experience ensures a peaceful retreat.

Immerse yourself in the age-old Icelandic bathing tradition, sustainably built in the traditional stone-bath style within a protected environment. Enjoy healing hot springs while gazing at the steep canyon, majestic mountains, and glistening glaciers.

Reykholt and Snorralaug

The inspiration for Husafell Canyon Baths traces back to Reykholt, our final stop. Explore Snorralaug (Snorri’s Pool), a traditional hot spring dating back to the 12th century, mentioned in the writings of Snorri Sturluson. Delve into Iceland’s history at this protected archaeological site, concluding your tour with a visit to the 19th-century timber church.

As we return to Reykjavik, carry cherished memories and a rejuvenated spirit from an enriching day in West Iceland.
