Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning pick up your rental car at HERTZ office in the city center, that you will have from this day throughout your stay in Iceland (Toyota Land Cruiser, SUV, 4x4, automatic or similar) Incl. free millage, 2 drivers, GPS, CDW and Windshield Protection.
Drive to West Iceland to your countryside hotel with stops on the way.
Today you explore the West of Iceland, with Reykholt, a small village with fascinating history, once home to Snorri Sturluson, a historian, writer, poet, chieftain. Take firsts stops at two spectacular waterfalls: Hraunfossar (Lava waterfall), with its wide series of trickling waterfalls, flowing from a plateau of lava rock and narrow rapids of Barnafossar (Children's waterfall), best known for its dark history in folklore. Seeing the drama of one, followed by the peace of the other, is an excellent example of how Iceland’s scenery is ever-changing, and completely different spectacles can exist within mere metres of each other. Close by visit Deildartunguhver considered Europe's most powerful hot spring due to widely known rapid flow and constant temperature of 97 degrees Celsius.
You will pass Borgarnes, a charming town packed into a picturesque promontory overlooking the broad waters of Borgarfjörður, the “City Fjord”. It's one of the busiest towns in West Iceland, a focal point for fishing, culture, and commerce for a thousand years. But you can still feel its Viking roots wherever you look! We recommend lunch stop at The Settpelemnr Center, main museum in town, with very nice restaurant.
Overnight stay in Búðir at Hotel Búðir.
