About this experience

Combine the Silver Circle route with one of Iceland's most secluded geothermal experiences on this 10-hour private tour from Reykjavik.

After a brief stop in Borgarnes, the route takes in Deildartunguhver (Europe's most powerful hot spring), Reykholt (Snorri Sturluson's medieval saga pool), and Hraunfossar lava waterfalls. At Husafell, a specialist canyon guide takes your group by vehicle into the highlands, down 64 steps into Hringsgil canyon, and to two geothermal pools built from the canyon's own flagstones — 30–41°C, surrounded by canyon walls and glacier views.

Accessible only by guided tour. Maximum 16 guests per slot. Swimwear and hiking boots required. Private YFIR guide throughout. Hotel pickup included.

Highlights:

Full Silver Circle route: Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar
Husafell Canyon Baths — two geothermal pools in a remote highland canyon
Accessible only by guided tour — no independent access
Canyon pools built from local flagstone, 30–41°C, cold spring option available
Specialist Husafell canyon guide leads the baths section
Maximum 16 guests per slot — genuinely uncrowded

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is closed F-roads or a highland storm — decided by the Road Administration and the driver. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

1Your Friend in Reykjavik decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Who this is not for

Priced per vehicle, so it is poor value for one or two people and good value for four or more sharing.
Not available in winter; the operator runs it roughly May to September.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

We had a great time on our Iceland Folklore tour. Our guide was Einar. He was a fantastic storyteller!! Hidden people/elves, trolls and ghost stories - and a lot of Icelandic history. Thank you Einar!!

Petra was an incredible guide. We asked her to show us as much as she could before taking our crazy family of 10 to the airport for our flights to three different cities ! First stop was the beautiful church in downtown Reykjavik that had just opened with an organ recital. Next stop a lovely spot and observation sight overlooking the city by the Pearl. Cold and wet she found us a lovely coffee shop with the best pastries for a welcome mid morning rest next to the sea. Back in the van we drove for a bit before having the opportunity to explore a geothermal field on our way to the airport. A perfect day and ending to our time in Iceland. Petra shared alot of history and information from the perspective of a local which we all appreciated and enjoyed!

Nice walking trip in Reykjavik city centre with our local guide Hrafn, very friendly and knowledgeable. A good introduction to Iceland on the very first day of our 2 weeks road-trip around the island 👍
