After pickup in Reykjavík, the route leads to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Guests can walk through the rift valley, explore the historic site of Iceland’s first parliament, and enjoy views of lava fields and Lake Þingvallavatn.
