Making our way through the rural countryside of East Iceland, we’ll travel along the picturesque Jökuldalur valley to our first stop, the Rjúkandi waterfall, where a short, accessible path leads to the falls—a perfect introduction to Iceland’s natural beauty.
From there, we continue to Stuðlagil Canyon, home to one of the largest and most breathtaking basalt column formations in the country. This photogenic canyon is especially captivating in early summer, when the Jökulsá river runs a striking turquoise, shifting to a silvery-grey by August as the Hálslón reservoir at Kárahnjúkar releases overflow water.
Optional add-ons include visits to Vök Baths or The Reindeer Park. (select at checkout)
After exploring Stuðlagil, guests may choose to relax at Vök Baths, home to Iceland’s first floating pools in Urriðavatn, complete with a large pool, sauna, cold spray tunnel, premium guest facilities, a tea bar, and Vök Bistro, which features lake views and a menu focused on sustainability and local ingredients.
The Reindeer Park offers a unique opportunity to observe Iceland’s only reindeer population up close. Originally brought from Norway in the 18th century, reindeer now roam freely in Iceland’s eastern highlands. The reindeer in the park were rescued as young, abandoned calves and are cared for in a safe environment, allowing visitors a rare encounter with these majestic animals.
