A UNESCO World Heritage Site where the world's oldest parliament was founded and the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are visibly drifting apart. The park also features Iceland's largest natural lake. We walk the rift valley between the continents and visit the original site of the Alþingi, founded in 930 AD.

The world's most famous geyser, from which all others are named. Watch as Strokkur erupts every 5–7 minutes, shooting boiling water over 30 metres into the air. The surrounding geothermal field has bubbling mud pots, hot springs, and steam vents.

A thunderous, glacially-fed waterfall with stunning viewpoints — a true national treasure. Two cascades drop a combined 32 metres into a deep canyon, throwing up spray and rainbows on sunny days.

A 60-metre waterfall unique for the path that lets you walk behind the cascade. Waterproof clothing recommended — you will get wet. One of the most photographed waterfalls in Iceland.

One of Iceland's tallest and most powerful waterfalls — 25 metres wide and 60 metres tall. A staircase to the side leads to a viewing platform at the top with sweeping coastal views. On sunny days you can usually catch a rainbow in the spray.

A hauntingly beautiful volcanic beach with towering basalt columns, sea caves, and offshore sea stacks. The Atlantic surf here is famously powerful — sneaker waves can reach surprisingly far up the beach, so we keep a respectful distance from the water.
