Silver Circle Private Tour: Glacier, Waterfalls & Hvammsvik Hot Springs
The Silver Circle is West Iceland's quieter answer to the Golden Circle: Europe's most powerful hot spring, waterfalls that pour out of a lava field and, at its heart, a walk into the ice of Langjökull glacier. This private tour ends with a soak at Hvammsvík Hot Springs on the way home. Your group gets a dedicated driver-guide and a vehicle that belongs entirely to you for the day. No fixed pace, no waiting for other passengers, no compromises. At Deildartunguhver, boiling water bubbles out of the ground in clouds of steam. In Reykholt you visit the home of Snorri Sturluson, the medieval writer behind many of the Norse myths we know today. At Hraunfossar, clear water seeps out of a lava field in countless small falls, while next door Barnafoss rushes through a narrow gorge. From Húsafell, a glacier vehicle takes you up onto Langjökull for Into the Glacier: a man-made ice tunnel that leads you deep inside the glacier, between walls of blue ice. After a stop at the Fossatún waterfalls, you relax at Hvammsvík Hot Springs, natural geothermal pools right at the shoreline of Hvalfjörður. Throughout the day your driver-guide shares stories, sagas and practical tips about Iceland's nature, history and culture. Full details of each stop are in the itinerary. Pick-up and drop-off anywhere in the Capital Area, including the cruise terminals, is included. The order of stops may be adjusted on the day due to weather, road conditions or your ice tunnel time. Choose a Private Sedan for 1-3 guests or a Private Van for up to 8 guests. One price per vehicle, not per person.
