Thingvellir has an amazing cultural heritage as Iceland’s first  parliament was founded there in the year 930 AD. To add even more  uniqueness to the location, its geological features are truly amazing  and exceptional. This is because of the exposed North American and  Eurasian tectonic plate on the surface. The location is an UNESCO  designated World Heritage site for these reasons.

This white beach at Ytri-Tunga is not only interesting for  its white sand, but also for the fact that it is a seal colony, where  you can sometimes see seals lounge on the rocks.

      As  the Professor Otto Lidenbrock from Jules Verne’s novel, you can add an  extra this day when booking to venture into Víðgelmir lava cave. Do not  worry, you won’t reach the center of the Earth but you will follow a  path of lava that was created thousands years ago.

Hraunfossar is a series of  streams emerging through the dark lava fields, a very special and  beautiful sight.
