Highlights
- Hraunfossar - Hraunfossar is a series of waterfalls formed by rivulets streaming over a distance of about 900 metres out of the Hallmundarhraun, a lava field which flowed from an eruption of one of the volcanoes lying under the glacier Langjökul. Hraun means lava and fossar mean waterfalls, so the name basically means Lava Waterfalls.The water originates from Langjökull glacier, the second-largest glacier in Iceland, therefore, making it the twin brother to the powerful Gullfoss waterfall. The glacial meltwater has to travel quite a long distance to Hallmundarhraun filtering through the lava field and spouting out again in an incredible water array.

Absolutely incredible - An experience we'll never forget - My wife and I went on the Silver Circle tour on the 2nd Jan 2019. This trip with Activity Iceland was better than fantastic and we had an amazing guide called Gunnar. My wife was very nervous before going on this tour, as she was really worried as to what to expect, however there was no need for her to worry as Gunnar was so professional and friendly and put my wife at ease. His skill with the vehicle was incredible, along with his knowledge of Iceland. This trip was one we will never forget and it was worth every penny. Our trip to Iceland was a lifetime experience and this tour was most definitely the high-light or our holiday and a memory we will treasure.

Up on Iceland´s second largest glacier Langjökull - The Silver Circle Tour was an awesome adventure. Our driver and guide Gunnar was excellent, well experienced, fun and very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of great stories about Iceland and its culture as well as any information about all the areas visited. My favorite part was definitely driving up the bumpy highland roads, in a totally comfortable super jeep, to the glacier top where we also visited an ice cave tunnel. This tour is a fantastic mix of beautiful waterfalls, historic sites, and ice caps. Highly recommend.
