In this tour we will visit some of the gems of South Iceland. We drive from Reykjavik to Thingvellir National Park (a World Heritage site, 40 km east of Reykjavik). A sacred spot for many Icelanders, Thingvellir are a fascinating place of natural beauty, where the Icelandic parliament was established in 930. As well as being of political and historical significance, Thingvellir are a interesting geological site as it is where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. The next destination is Geysir where we find Icelands's most famous hot spring, shooting boiling water up to 40 metres into the air, and the beloved golden waterfall, Gullfoss. We also stop at Skálholt; the historical seat of the Icelandic church. We drive further east towards Urridafoss, a splendid waterfall in Icelands longest river, Thjórsá. From there we return to Reykjavik through the south costal road. Depending on the time of the year and weather, we can look for a spot where to see the northern lights

In my own car, Toyota Prius. if more that 3 want to participate, a larger vehicle will have to be rented. If needed I could rent a bigger to take as many as 6 people on this tour. Some 300 euro would be added to the price.
