Start your trip by visiting Thingvellir National Park, where you can witness the mesmerizing natural beauty. This park is the meeting point of two tectonic plates, and the rift indeed represents the continental drift in Iceland. You can enjoy hiking, diving, and exploring the natural wildlife here. The park has many walking trails, and the Law Rock and Thingvellir Church are must-watch attractions.
Marvel at the natural beauty of the Gullfoss waterfall named " The Golden Fall." It is a must-visit attraction on your trip to Iceland. The waterfall is formed from the river Hvítá and cascades from a height of 105 feet. Visitors can view the falls from different angles and witness the stunning views of the surrounding area. The glacier-fed water and spray create beautiful rainbows, which makes it a perfect spot for photography.
End your trip by soaking yourself in the geothermal spa of Blue Lagoon, which is near Grindavik. Here, you can enjoy the mineral-rich water, which helps your skin and body relax and rejuvenate. The Blue Lagoon also offers an in-water treatment service, and you will require a reservation for this. Guests can dine at Lava Restaurant, known for its Icelandic cuisine and the panoramic view of the lagoon.
For those with more time, you may wish to visit Vatnajokull Glacier National Park, Skogafoss Waterfall, and Diamond Beach. If time is limited, consider removing the Blue Lagoon trip. Remember that Icelandic weather is unpredictable, so be prepared with warm clothes and rain gear. Finally, bring a waterproof camera to capture all the incredible sights Iceland has to offer.
