## Itinerary

1. **Thingvellir National Park** (45m) - Head to Thingvellir National Park, where you learn about how it lies within a volcanically active area. It's also home to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Straddle two continents while you walk between the plates.
2. **Laugarvatn** (pass by, no stop) - sits next to a beautiful lake of the same name in a geothermally active area. The plumes of super-heated vapor billowing into the air in this area are used by the locals to bake rye bread in the ground!
3. **Site de Geysir** (1h 20m) - Next, visit the surreal Geysir geothermal area on foot, stopping at bubbling ponds, steam vents, and Geysir and Strokkur geysers. Stick around long enough to watch the Strokkur geyser erupt (around every 10 minutes), spurting a column of water up to 98 foot (30 meters) in the air
4. **Gullfoss Falls** (40m) - The next destination is Gullfoss – the Golden Waterfall, where the waters of the mighty Hvíta (white) river are swept into a 70 meters deep canyon.
5. **Reykholt** (pass by, no stop) - Small town with lots of Greenhouses
6. **Kerid Crater** (30m; admission included) - After enjoyable hike around falls hop back on the bus for the journey to the lake-filled, 3,000-year-old Kerid crater. Stop to marvel at its magical-looking lake and colorful slopes.
7. **Reykjanes Peninsula** (pass by, no stop) - A drive through Reykjanes Peninsula admiring vast lava fields, cone volcanoes and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean before we arrive in the Blue Lagoon.
8. **Hvammsvik Hot Springs** (2h) - (OPTIONAL) If you select to end your day at Hvammsvík Baths, the bus will head towards stunning Whale Fjord where the SPA is located. There, you can immerse yourself in the perfect combination of geothermal water from 1400 meters below the surface and seawater from the nearby...
9. **Blue Lagoon** (2h; admission included) - (OPTIONAL) Up to visit an iconic Blue Lagoon Lava Fields & SPA?
