This is a tour that combines two of Icelands natural highlights, hot springs and glaciers. It is only a 45 min. drive from Reykjavík to the edge of the Hengill geothermal area where we take a 2 - 3 hour walk.
Located at the foot of the old volcanic cone of Hengill, this hiking trail passes a series of beautiful hot springs en route to the Reykjadalur valley where one can enjoy a bath in a beautifull warm stream. We then continue in our car for an hour and 45 minutes towards the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier, one of the largest in Iceland. Here we put on crampons and grab ice axes and set out to discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and the deep crevasses which hide the intense blue colour of the glacier ice. This tour tour offers both magnificent nature and scenery.
Pick up at hotels and guesthouses 30 minutes prior to departure.
