What to expect

You will start the day visiting the underworld, where you can see and understand how volcanoes created Iceland. You will explore an amazing underground lava tube (get ready to crawl when the ceiling gets a bit low!).

After exploring the wonderful Raufarhólshellir Lava Tube, you will be dropped off at a café bakery for a lunch break. You will then be picked up at around 12:00 for an exciting drive of the famous Golden Circle route. The first stop will be at Þingvellir National Park (en. Parliament Fields). Þingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world. Also, this is a place where American and Euroasian tectonic plates meet. Perfect spot to take photos!

Moving forward to the geothermal area of Geysir. There you will have a chance to enjoy the views of hot water bubbling from the ground and the most active geyser Strokkur. It erupts every 4-10 minutes and treats visitors to a show giving you that tingly feeling in your stomach.

The last stop is at Gullfoss (e. Golden Waterfall) - one of the most magnificent waterfalls in Iceland!

With this trip you are combining nature, history and geology, all in one!

TUI Southern Iceland Tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
