What to expect
Explore the natural beauty of East Iceland on a private tour from Seydisfjordur. Visit the Rjúkandi waterfall, Stuðlagil Canyon, and the Hálslón reservoir. Choose to add a visit to the Vök Baths or the Reindeer Park.
Begin your tour with a drive through the picturesque Jökuldalur valley to the Rjúkandi waterfall. Take a short walk to the falls and admire the natural beauty of the area. Continue to Stuðlagil Canyon, home to one of the largest and most breathtaking basalt column formations in the country.
Explore the canyon and learn about its unique geology. In early summer, the Jökulsá river runs a striking turquoise, shifting to a silvery-grey by August as the Hálslón reservoir at Kárahnjúkar releases overflow water.
Choose to add a visit to the Vök Baths or the Reindeer Park. Relax at the Vök Baths, home to Iceland’s first floating pools in Urriðavatn, complete with a large pool, sauna, cold spray tunnel, premium guest facilities, a tea bar, and Vök Bistro, which features lake views and a menu focused on sustainability and local ingredients.
Alternatively, visit the Reindeer Park to observe Iceland’s only reindeer population up close. Originally brought from Norway in the 18th century, reindeer now roam freely in Iceland’s eastern highlands. The reindeer in the park were rescued as young, abandoned calves and are cared for in a safe environment, allowing visitors a rare encounter with these majestic animals.
