The center harnesses the power of geothermal energy to produce vegetables, bringing fresh produce from the farm to the table. Dine under the glow of greenhouse lights and savor a bowl of flavorful tomato soup, paired with the finest homemade bread, or add some zing with a perfect Bloody Mary.
Discover the Wonder of Geysir and Gullfoss Fall
Experience the allure of Iceland's renowned Geysir geothermal area, where the first geyser was documented in European literature, over 10,000 years ago. Don't miss the chance to witness the Strokkur geyser erupt every 6-10 minutes, a spectacle that always draws a crowd. You’ll also come across many hot springs, mini geysers, and bubbling mud pots.
Next, marvel at Iceland's most remarkable waterfall, Gullfoss, fed by the Langjökull glacier. Admire the double cascade as it tumbles down a stunning 32 meters, creating a mesmerizing misty veil before crashing onto the rocks. On sunny days, you might even spot a rainbow, while in winter, the waterfall shines with glistening ice.
Explore Thingvellir National Park
Last on your itinerary is a hike along the Thingvellir National Park, where the first-ever parliament took place and the only place in the world where you can stand between two continental plates. Your guide will narrate fascinating tales about Viking settlers holding parliament here since the year 930(!) Before heading back to Reykjavik, glimpse the glacial spring of the Silfra Gorge, made ethereal by its clear azure water.
