Discover a thrilling cinematic experience providing an immersive insight into the volcanic powers that created Iceland.
The Volcano Express experience takes you on a journey through southwest Iceland, one of the most volcanically active regions in the country. You’ll feel the physical power of earthquakes, the sensations of flight and freefall, and the heat of lava.
The Reykjanes peninsula has some Iceland’s most thrilling landscapes and volcanic features. In fact, Reykjanes is still being created and radically altered by volcanoes, and it is one of Earth’s youngest areas. The reason for all this activity is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a tectonic boundary that passes directly through Iceland. Here, the Eurasian and the North American plates pull apart, causing magma and volcanic gases to bubble up to the surface of the Earth.
The Volcano Express takes you on a unique immersive journey through this breathtaking volcanic landscape. You’ll soar above erupting volcanoes and dive deep into the centre of the Earth to discover the violent processes that are transforming our country.
State-of-the-art cinematic technology gives you an intimate sensory experience of these transformations. You’ll feel the heat of lava and the cold of Icelandic winter. And thanks to our dynamic seating, you’ll experience the turbulence of flight and the force of a powerful earthquake.
The captivating information combined with advanced technology promises an unparalleled insight into Iceland’s volcanic forces.

Are you ready to try the longest, fastest zipline in Iceland? You&#8217;ll soar over the stunning Svartagljúfur gorge, with its numerous waterfalls and spectacular views — a natural gem to experience from a breathtaking vantage point.
The “Free as a Bird” Mega Zipline starts atop the Kambar plateau overlooking Hveragerði and leading down to a cafe near the trailhead to the Reykjadalur hot spring valley. Two lines, each 1 km long, run parallel to each other, giving people travelling together a chance to take flight simultaneously.
Your adventure begins at Mega Zipline’s reception area by the Reykjadalur trailhead. There, Mega Zipline staff will walk you through safety precautions and outfit you with the appropriate equipment.
A vehicle takes you to Svartagljúfur canyon, and you will walk about 10 – 15 minutes to the Kambar flight tower. The walk is approximately 600 metres (1,969 feet) with an elevation gain of approximately 70 metres (230 feet). During this walk, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the canyon. At the fall tower, you will be met by Mega Zipline pilots and briefed again on the safe use of the Zipline. You’re then sent down the Zipline for the flight of your life.
Automatic cameras positioned along the line will snap pictures of the experience. When the flight is over, you’ll return to the reception area (less than 2 minutes’ walk) to drop off your gear, view the photographs, peruse the gift shop, and wish you could go on the Zipline again and again.

Scenic Reykjavík Routes Self-Drive

Take an exciting journey to the breathtaking South Coast. Immerse yourself in the beauty of magnificent waterfalls, stroll along stunning black sand beaches, and if you’re visiting during the summer months, keep an eye out for charming puffins (puffins are generally in Iceland between mid-May and mid-August).
Your first visit is Seljalandsfoss waterfall, which tumbles into a plunge pool with an enormous cave hiding behind the waters. There’s an exciting path that you can walk behind the waterfall to see it from the other side!
Hidden within a narrow canyon, Gljúfrabúi is a mesmerising waterfall that offers a magical and secluded experience. To reach this hidden gem, you&#8217;ll need to venture through a narrow opening in the rocks, where you&#8217;ll be greeted by the sight of the waterfall cascading down from above.
The next stop is Skógafoss, an incredible waterfall. It’s a thrilling sight, and you may be lucky enough to see rainbows here. Skógafoss means “Forest Falls”, but there aren’t many trees now! There are 460 steps to the top of the falls – will you climb up and take a look from there?
Next, you’ll make short visit to Sólheimajökull glacier. From the viewing point you can soak in the view of magnificent glacier and the small lagoon forming in front of it.
Dyrhólaey is a promontory known for its dramatic cliffs and stunning panoramic views. Its unique rock arch stands tall against the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean. From the top, you can admire the breathtaking vistas of black sand beaches, towering cliffs, and the vast expanse of the ocean.
Your next destination is the awe-inspiring black sand beach of Reynisfjara. You’ll be amazed by the powerful Atlantic waves crashing against the cliffs. Vík is the final stop on your South Coast adventure. It’s a pretty little village with a fairytale feel. Visit its lovely hilltop church, the perfect spot for panoramic pictures of the Reynisdrangar.

South Coast Adventure: Waterfalls, Glacier & Black Beach

Explore the home of the Icelandic Sagas, see stunning waterfalls, and relax in the soothing waters of the Húsafell Canyon Baths.
Start with a scenic drive past Mount Esja and then through the tunnel deep under Hvalfjörður to West Iceland. Drive deep inland towards Glanni. This picturesque waterfall cascades down multiple tiers across ancient lava fields. You&#8217;ll also have a breathtaking view of the three Grábrók volcanic craters.
Next is Deildartunguhver, renowned as the most powerful hot springs in Europe. Then you&#8217;ll visit a family-run Icelandic horse farm that can trace its history in West Iceland back for more than a century. Home to more than sixty purebred Icelandic horses, it’s one of the oldest horse breeding farms in the country, and you’re invited to spend time with these wonderful animals.  And there’s an extra treat when you visit Sturlureykir &#8211; freshly baked hot spring bread” served with a hot chocolate or a coffee!
Just a short distance away is Snorralaug, a hot spring pool that has been frequented by locals since the 12th century. Today, the pool is a protected archaeological site.  While you&#8217;re here, be sure to capture some photos of the beautiful old timber church, which dates back to the 19th century. Take a peek inside and you&#8217;ll even spot a viewing glass that provides a glimpse into a medieval smithy cistern.
Next, you will see the great Hraunfossar, a stunning series of waterfalls formed by several rivers running across the Hallmundarhraun lava field, created a thousand years ago by a volcano erupting under the nearby Langjökull glacier.
Stop in Húsafell, a magical place of woodlands and waterfalls set between the two glaciers. Here, you&#8217;ll be transferred to a special 4WD vehicle for a unique journey along rugged mountain passages. Stop to see Langifoss, a spectacular two-tiered waterfall that plunges through a steep ravine into the depths of Deildargil canyon.
The highlight of your tour comes next – an authentic Icelandic hot pool experience in the splendid setting of Hringsgil canyon. Enjoy a serene soak in a hot spring with the enchanting landscapes all around you. This spellbinding place has three geothermally heated pools of varying temperatures (30-41°C or 86-105°F), a cold-water pot and a cooling waterfall, all blending seamlessly into the natural environment.

Silver Circle: West Iceland with Canyon Ride & Secluded Thermal Baths

Join us for the Golden Circle Tour, where you’ll witness waterfalls, geyser eruptions, walk along a volcanic crater, and see the gap between the Eurasian and American plates at Þingvellir National Park. Enjoy a stop at a geothermal bakery in a unique geothermal park.
Your first stop is the captivating geothermal springs and geothermal park in Hveragerði. Visit Eilífur, the newest geyser in Iceland, which began erupting in 2016 and impressively erupts every 15-20 minutes. Enjoy “hverabrauð,” a sweet geothermal bread freshly baked in the on-site bakery. Inside the greenhouse, see experimental banana plants thriving so close to the Arctic Circle.
Head to Kerið crater. Kerið’s striking red earth and vibrant green moss create a captivating contrast, complemented by a turquoise-blue mineral water lake at its base.
Next, visit the awe-inspiring Gullfoss, one of Iceland&#8217;s most beloved natural wonders, featuring a double drop where the water plunges into a narrow ravine, creating a stunning spray.
Nearby is the Geysir geothermal area. Strokkur, an impressive geyser, displays its power with reliable eruptions every few minutes, soaring up higher and more powerful than Eilífur. You’ll also see bubbling hotpots and superheated streams, leaving behind vivid, multi-coloured residues.
Your final stop will be Þingvellir National Park. Here, you&#8217;ll be mesmerized by the vast gap between the Eurasian and American continental plates. Beyond its geological wonders, Þingvellir holds immense cultural and historical significance for Iceland. It was at this site that the Vikings established the world&#8217;s oldest surviving Parliament in 930 AD.

Islande Classique Hiver 25/26 (French)

Explore the incredible and stunning ice world of the Sólheimajökull Glacier on a ravishing glacier walking tour right off Iceland&#8217;s beautiful South Coast. It is a hiking adventure you&#8217;ll never forget.
Glacier Experience is a small group experience that offers an easy glacier hike on Sólheimajökull glacier with an experienced glacier guide and is available all year around. Add even more adventure to your stay in Iceland and come explore this amazing crawling glacier with us. Sólheimajökull glacier is an outlet from the mighty Mýrdalsjökull and is surrounded by some of Iceland&#8217;s grandest volcanoes. A glacier lagoon forms in front of the glacier during summertime, only adding to the location&#8217;s charm.
Your Glacier Experience tour starts with an introduction to the necessary glacier equipment provided in the tour and your expert guide going over the safety rules to explore the beautiful Sólheimajökull glacier. You will then take a short but scenic walk across the pitch-black volcanic ash and sands that lay in between the Sólheimajökull glacier and the parking lot.
The ash and sand are from the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull stratovolcano that took place in the year 2010 and is a reminder of the closeness of volcanoes and glaciers in Iceland. Truly a fantastic and unique start! At the foot of the glacier you will lace up our crampons and follow your guide to explore this otherworldly natural wonder; a rugged, raw and ever-changing hub of ancient frozen water.
You will see how the primal elements shape and affect the glacier, creating mesmerising labyrinths of ice ridges and deep V-shaped crevasses that crisscross and scar the surface of the ice. Not to mention the big sinkholes, called “moulins”, that sometimes have drilled their way through the glacier, draining the meltwater of the ice through little waterfalls and streams.
This popular day tour is the perfect way to know the actual reason behind the name Ice-land!
Note: The hiking part of the tour is about 2 hours, with 1-1.5 hours spent on the glistening glacier.

Glacier Experience – Sólheimajökull Easy Glacier Hike

Snæfellsnes is known as a miniature version of Iceland. In a relatively small area, you can see lava fields, mountains, small towns, a glacier, sea cliffs, lava caves, black sand beaches and more.
Departing from Reykjavik, your first stop is at the Berserkjahraun Lava Fields, where jagged formations from ancient volcanic eruptions create an otherworldly atmosphere steeped in legend. Then, marvel at the iconic Mt. Kirkjufell and its nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls, capturing picture-perfect views of Iceland’s most photographed mountain.
The hauntingly beautiful Djúpalónssandur Black Sand Beach, lined with smooth pebbles and scattered shipwreck remains, offers a poignant reminder of the country’s maritime past. Lóndrangar Basalt Cliffs rise dramatically from the ocean, remnants of ancient volcanic craters, home to diverse birdlife and breathtaking coastal views.
In Snæfellsjökull National Park, explore a wonderland of volcanic landscapes and glaciers, famously inspiring Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The Arnarstapi Cliff Viewpoint provides sweeping vistas of rugged sea cliffs and unique rock formations, perfect for scenic walks and birdwatching.
Visit the stark and beautiful Búðir Black Church, a solitary wooden structure set against a vast lava field, offering a striking contrast to the surrounding landscape and a favorite for photographers. Conclude your journey at Ytri Tunga Beach, where the golden sands provide a peaceful setting to observe playful seals basking along the shore, offering a serene and unforgettable end to your exploration of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Snæfellsnes Peninsula Small Group Tour

This tour will take you to all three attractions of the famous Golden Circle directly from Reykjavik, with an added visit to the unique Secret Lagoon. It is a perfect Icelandic experience giving you a chance to visit waterfalls, geysers, and historical sights and soak in a natural hot spring.
Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall is one of the three sights of the Golden Circle route. This incredible waterfall attracts thousands of visitors every year, and for a good reason –  according to the World of Waterfalls, it is one of the top ten best waterfalls in the world.
Next you will have the opportunity to walk among the bubbling hot springs of the Geysir geothermal area, but make sure to stay within the restricted area for your safety. Strokkur geyser is a site that you should definitely not miss; it spouts water sometimes up to 40m(100 ft) high!
Thingvellir National Park is a beloved place for Icelanders, as well as a UNESCO world heritage site. Here Icelandic history and great geological wonders come together, making the place one of Iceland‘s most symbolic sites.
The stone-lined Secret Lagoon is the oldest swimming pool in Iceland, a natural hot pool suitable for bathing year-round. The locals call this the “Secret Lagoon” because it was known only to them for a long time. Now you have a chance to bathe in the hot water of this outstanding pool with its magical geothermal surroundings.
For the grand finale, visit the photographers’ favorite, the Kerið volcanic crater. This striking volcanic crater filled with a vivid blue lake and framed by steep slopes. The crater is around 6.500 years old, yet it still feels alive with color and texture. In summer, its walls are painted red and green by moss and minerals, while in winter, the blue lake contrasts beautifully with the white snow. Take an easy walk around the rim, where every angle offers a new view of the surrounding landscape and the water below.

Three species have entered Iceland from North America:  the Great Northern Diver (Common Loon), the Barrow’s Goldeneye, and the Harlequin Duck. Iceland is their only breeding location in Europe. Several migratory species stop-over in Iceland on their way between their breeding grounds north of the Arctic Circle and their wintering grounds further south on the planet.  These species include the Knot, sanderling, Turnstone, Brent Goose, White-fronted Goose, and Barnacle Goose.

Your adventure starts in Vík village, where you will meet your expert glacier hiking guide and board a SuperJeep. You’ll head into what seems like a rugged no man’s land. Enchanting glaciers and mountains surround you.
Your SuperJeep stops near the otherworldly Kötlujökull glacier. It’s time to put on your crampons and helmet and take a short walk to the opening of the ice cave.
