Paradise Valley & Highlands | Private Tour

This private tour is only available between Mid-May to Mid-October as it ventures into highland roads, inaccessible during winter. Duration: 9 - 10 hours depending on conditions

Escape the city and journey deep into one of Iceland’s most enchanting regions, Þjórsárdalur , also known as Paradise Valley . This privately guided day tour takes you from Reykjavík into the Icelandic highlands, where nature, history, and cinematic landscapes await.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the south, passing the charming town of Selfoss before heading inland. Our first stop is Þjóðveldisbærinn , a reconstructed Viking-era farmstead that brings Iceland’s medieval past to life. History buffs and Game of Thrones fans alike will enjoy stepping into this atmospheric replica, which served as a filming location for the series.

Next, we visit Hjálparfoss , a unique double waterfall framed by lava formations, followed by Gjáin, a hidden oasis of waterfalls, beautiful rock formations and lush greenery. Few, if any, places in Iceland feel more like you're stepping in to a scene from a fairytale.

From there, we continue deeper into the highlands to witness two of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls: Háifoss , the country’s second-highest waterfall, and its elegant brother, Granni , cascading side-by-side into a dramatic canyon.

Finally, we visit Fossabrekkur , a lesser-known gem where crystal-clear streams tumble through mossy fields, a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path ending to an awe-inspiring day.

On our return to Reykjavík, time and interest allowing, we’ll stop at the historic Skálholt , once Iceland’s cultural and religious center.
