The Grapevine's take
Borgarfjörður
If you turn right just before Borgarnes, you’ll come upon a less-traveled fjord that’s rich with sights. This is Borgarfjörður, a lava land filled with rivers, streams, and some of the most awe-inspiring waterfalls in the country. Don’t miss the powerful Deildartunguhver hot spring, the historical town of the Reykhólt, the impressive Hraunfossar and Barnafoss waterfalls, the top-notch restaurant at Hotel Húsafell, and, of course, the Langjökull glacier.

About this tour
Embark on the Silver Circle – a journey deep into the heart of Iceland’s raw beauty and volcanic history. This captivating tour offers a unique opportunity to explore some of the country's most breathtaking and lesser-traveled natural wonders, all while tracing a route that showcases the power and majesty of the Silver Circle itself.
Departing from Reykjavik, the adventure begins with a visit to Deildartunguhver, one of the most powerful hot springs in the world. Here, the intense geothermal activity that defines Iceland comes alive, setting the stage for the dramatic landscapes to come.
Next, the tour leads you to Barnafossar, a waterfall as mysterious as it is beautiful, with churning blue waters and local legends that add a touch of Icelandic folklore to the journey.
From there, the Silver Circle winds into the serene expanse of Húsafell, a lush, green oasis nestled against ancient lava fields. Known for its striking scenery and opportunities to connect with nature, this stop serves as a peaceful prelude to the tour's underground marvel.
After reaching Húsafell, you’ll have the chance to personalize your Silver Circle experience with one of the following optional activities:
- Snowmobiling on Langjökull Glacier – an exhilarating ride across Iceland’s second-largest glacier, offering unmatched views and high-adrenaline fun.
- ATV Quad Biking in Húsafell – explore the rugged terrain surrounding Húsafell on an exciting off-road adventure.
- Guided Tour of Víðgelmir Cave – venture deep into one of Iceland’s largest lava caves and discover its spectacular formations and volcanic history.
- Húsafell Canyon Baths – relax in naturally heated geothermal pools set in a remote canyon with stunning views.
- Free Time in Húsafell – take a leisurely walk, visit the local art installations, or simply unwind in this peaceful natural haven.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a deeper connection with Iceland’s geological wonders, the Silver Circle offers something for every traveler—a journey that’s as flexible as it is unforgettable.
