There's plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from for a bite to eat.
Today you'll experience the natures phenomenon of Raufarholshellir lava tunnel as you explore it in an easy and enjoyable manner. A guide will lead you through the colourful landscape into the breathtaking natural cave.

You'll visit three of Iceland's most famous places: Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir National Park and the Geysir hot spring area. Afterwards, you'll head down to the lakeside to enjoy natural steam baths of Laugarvatn Fontana, including three geothermally heated baths, a sauna and access to the pristine waters of Lake Laugarvatn.
