Tour Details
Begin your journey by delving into the mesmerizing depths of Raufarhólshellir, one of Iceland's most extraordinary lava tunnels. As you step into this ancient subterranean world, formed over 5,200 years ago during the Leitahraun eruption, you'll be enveloped by a kaleidoscope of colors, where the tunnel's walls are illuminated by artful lighting that highlights the natural beauty of the volcanic formations. The air is cool and crisp, and as you venture deeper, the path is made easy with well-placed footbridges and paths, ensuring a comfortable exploration. In winter, the entrance transforms into a wonderland of ice sculptures, adding a touch of magic to your adventure. Equipped with helmets and lights, you’ll feel like an intrepid explorer uncovering the secrets of the earth.
After this underground odyssey, the adventure continues at the Old Harbour in downtown Reykjavík, where the sea beckons. Board a whale-watching vessel with Special Tours Wildlife Adventures and set sail into the vast expanse of Faxaflói Bay. The salty breeze invigorates your senses as you scan the horizon for the majestic marine life that calls these waters home. Minke whales glide gracefully beneath the waves, while playful harbour porpoises and white-beaked dolphins dance in the boat's wake. The highlight is the awe-inspiring sight of a humpback whale breaching the surface, its massive form creating a spectacle of nature's power and grace. As you sip on a warm hot chocolate or coffee, wrapped snugly in provided overalls, your knowledgeable guide enriches the experience with fascinating insights into the lives of these incredible creatures.
Conclude your day back at the Old Harbour, where the vibrant city life of Reykjavík awaits just a short stroll away. Explore the nearby shops and restaurants, or take advantage of a 15% discount at Reykjavík Röst Bistro, a cozy spot to unwind with a drink. Whether you choose to linger in the city or head back to your hotel, this day of discovery and wonder will leave you with memories to cherish.
