South West Iceland is the most popular with first-timers, with the majority of the island’s attractions situated here – Thingvellir, the
country’s most important historical site, the volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula, Mount Hekla, and the premier hotspot, the Blue Lagoon,
where visitors can bathe in the naturally heated, turquoise blue waters.

Visit the geyser area, and watch as Strokkur erupts to 20m every few minutes, and venture to Gullfoss Falls, Iceland’s best-known waterfall. Explore Thorsmork valley, set amidst three glaciers, rivers and gorges by super jeep, or take a boat trip to the Westman islands – a group of 15 volcanic islands situated just off the south coast.

The Beautiful South, otherwise known as South East Iceland conjures up many fantastic images. From vibrantly coloured rhyolite
mountains, and hot springs in the Fjallabak region, an area of geological interest with abundant waterfalls in Kirkjubaejarklaustur,
to Iceland’s largest ice mass, and most scenic drives in Vatnajokull, and Jokulsarlon, where huge icebergs break off into its lagoon.
