On the final day of your trip around Iceland, explore the delights of West Iceland, a region esteemed by Lonely Planet as one of the best destinations in 2016. Your journey begins at Grabrok, a volcano crater surrounded by lava resembling the moon's surface. Led by your guide, take a brief hike to behold panoramic views of the area from the crater's summit. The day's itinerary includes a visit to Borgarfjörður, where you encounter Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful hot spring, and the astonishing Hraunfossar cascade, where innumerable rivulets emerge from the lava field, creating a remarkable spectacle. Additionally, discover Barnafoss waterfall, named after a tragic folklore tale.
The next destination is Reykholt, a historic and picturesque site known as the home of Snorri Sturluson, the Icelandic historian, lawyer, politician, poet, and author of several Icelandic Sagas. Have the opportunity to see Snorralaug, Snorri's pool, and even feel the water temperature, as it is believed to be where Snorri likely bathed. The journey back to Reykjavik will take you around the scenic fjord, Hvalfjordur (Whale Fjord). The estimated arrival time in the city is around 5 to 6 p.m., dropped off at a hotel in Reykjavik.
