Overview

On the silver circle tour, you will witness some of the most beautiful places in the western part of Iceland, including hot springs, waterfalls and glacial vistas.

Itinerary

Hraunfossar

Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökul. Hraun means lava and fossar mean waterfalls, so the name basically means Lava Waterfalls.The water originates from Langjökull glacier, the second-largest glacier in Iceland, therefore, making it the twin brother to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall. The glacial meltwater has to travel quite a long distance to Hallmundarhraun filtering through the lava field and spouting out again in an incredible water array.

15 minutes
Langjokull Glacier

Langjökull is the second largest ice cap in Iceland, after Vatnajökull. It is situated in the west of the Icelandic interior or Highlands of Iceland and can be seen clearly from Haukadalur. Its volume is 195 km³ and the ice is up to 580 m thick. The highest point of the ice cap is about 1,450 m above sea level. At least two volcanic systems can be found under Langjökull glacier but have been dormant for thousands of years

1 hour
Husafell

Húsafell is quite inland for an Icelandic settlement, made possible due to the fertile lands and relative lack of eruptions in the area. In spite of its distance from the coast, fishing has always been popular due to the trout lakes and salmon rivers within it. A rectory once stood on the farm, gaining it fame as a location across the country when it was in its deepest religious throes, although all that remains now is a church. Today, Húsafell is most popular and well-known as a camping location. There are many campsites, cabins, bungalows and holiday homes to be rented in the area, making it very popular amongst both locals and travellers. The old farmhouse, dating back to 1904, is also now a hotel.

1 hour
N/A (Pass By)

Hvalfjörður (Whale Fjord),only 50 km from Reykjavik, gives an excellent opportunity to enjoy the unique beauty of Icelandic fjords,with its sloops, shores, canyons and waterfalls and its somewhat controversial history of whaling. The area is especially quiet and tranquil with few people around. Glymur, the highest waterfall of Iceland (198 m) is in Hvalfjordur.

Absolutely incredible - An experience we'll never forget

Published on Jan, 2019

My wife and I went on the Silver Circle tour on the 2nd Jan 2019. This trip with Activity Iceland was better than fantastic and we had an amazing guide called Gunnar. My wife was very nervous before going on this tour, as she was really worried as to what to expect, however there was no need for her to worry as Gunnar was so professional and friendly and put my wife at ease. His skill with the vehicle was incredible, along with his knowledge of Iceland. This trip was one we will never forget and it was worth every penny. Our trip to Iceland was a lifetime experience and this tour was most definitely the high-light or our holiday and a memory we will treasure.

Up on Iceland´s second largest glacier Langjökull

Published on Oct, 2018

The Silver Circle Tour was an awesome adventure. Our driver and guide Gunnar was excellent, well experienced, fun and very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of great stories about Iceland and its culture as well as any information about all the areas visited. My favorite part was definitely driving up the bumpy highland roads, in a totally comfortable super jeep, to the glacier top where we also visited an ice cave tunnel. This tour is a fantastic mix of beautiful waterfalls, historic sites, and ice caps. Highly recommend.
