Why Travelers Love This
Embark on an extraordinary journey through the Silver Circle! We kick off with a scenic drive into the majestic Hvalfjördur, a sprawling 30-kilometer fjord brimming with nature's wonders and captivating history. The drive from Reykjavik to the fjord takes about 1 hour. Once we get to the fjord, we will drive along it making a few stops for pictures. After another 1 hour drive, we will reach Deildartunguhver, one of Europe's largest hot spring, located right next to Krauma spa, where you can opt to take a relaxing bath. We then head to Reykholt, an ancient town steeped in medieval Icelandic manuscript studies. Another short drive will take us to the spellbinding Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls. We then drive for about 1 hour to the town of Borgarnes, with its interesting Settlement Museum, revealing the tales of Iceland's first Viking settlers. Another similar drive will then take us back to Reykjavik.
