Explore the natural wonders of Borgarfjordur and venture inside the mighty Langjokull glacier by booking this incredible guided excursion. Those eager to see spectacular landscapes and beautiful waterfalls and step inside the second-largest glacier in Iceland should book this private tour now.

Your tour starts when you are picked up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet your expert, English-speaking guide and climb aboard your vehicle, ready for the adventure ahead.

This private excursion will be just you and your party. There's no need to wait for other guests. The tour can be tailored to your needs.

When you're ready, you'll set off for Borgarfjordur, the first stop on the tour. Borgarfjordur is a picturesque fjord in West Iceland, known for its stunning natural beauty and rich history.

Majestic mountains, lush valleys, and cascading waterfalls surround the fjord. One of its prominent features is the Hraunfossar waterfalls, where crystal-clear water seeps through lava fields, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

Borgarfjordur is also steeped in Viking history, with historical sites like Reykholt, once home to the renowned medieval scholar Snorri Sturluson. Visitors can explore cultural treasures like the Snorrastofa Cultural and Medieval Center.

The area is also where a lot of the Icelandic sagas are based. The Icelandic Sagas, written during the 13th and 14th centuries, are a remarkable collection of medieval prose narratives that offer profound insights into Iceland's history, culture, and society.

These sagas blend fact and fiction, recounting tales of Viking-age heroes, feuds, exploration, and settlement.

Next up is Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjokull Glacier. Langjokull Glacier is one of Iceland's most remarkable natural wonders, covering approximately 361 square miles (935 square kilometers) in the Central Highlands.

Despite its icy appearance, Langjokull Glacier is an active glacier, concealing several ice caves, crevasses, and tunnels beneath its surface.

Here, you will go inside the glacier in the Langjokull Ice Tunnel. The Langjokull Ice Tunnel is an artificial tunnel that delves deep into the glacier, allowing tourists to explore its icy interior.

This subglacial world offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the glacier's ice formations and captivating blue hues. You'll see the layers of ice and snow and learn more about the glacier's impact on the daily lives of local people.

Meltwater from the glacier is the source of the tap water in the city of Reykjavik. Your guide will be able to tell you more about the glacier's formation and history.

At the end of the tour, you'll be driven back to Reykjavik to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.

Enjoy this immersive experience exploring Borgarfjordur and going inside Langjokull glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
