About your day
Today‘s tour is basically ‘Iceland in a nutshell‘ and because we like to go the extra mile, we will send you on a super jeep tour. The jeep will take you to Þingvellir National Park, a must-see for your perfect Iceland Christmas Holiday. There, you will walk in between two tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the North American. You will also visit the oldest parliament of the world (UNESCO World Heritage).
You think that is impressive? Wait until you go to the Geyser Geothermal Area and witness one of the world‘s major geysers erupt. The ‘geysir‘ hot spring, gave the name to every other hot spring in the world. The old Geysir has been dormant for years now, but its’ ever-reliable counterpart Strokkur erupts roughly every 8-10 minutes, so you are guaranteed to see this miracle of nature.
The next stop will be Iceland‘s most famous waterfall, the Golden Waterfall, or ‘Gullfoss‘, as we say here in Iceland. Trust us, he really lives up to that name. ‘Gullfoss‘ is particularly beautiful during the winter months. Parts of the waterfall are covered in snow and ice, which makes him the perfect location to shoot your Iceland Christmas Holiday pictures. Finally, you will drive up to Iceland‘s second largest glacier, Langjökull. The glacier is located within the Icelandic highlands, which makes this trip a truly unique experience. While being there, enjoy the panoramic view and glacier´s beauty. In the evening of December 23rd, Icelanders celebrate Þorláksmessa. It is an Icelandic Christmas Holiday tradition to spend the evening in the city, where all shops and cafes are open until 23:00 p.m. Join the locals and listen to street choirs singing traditional Christmas carols and have a hot chocolate at one of our many cozy cafés.
