Day 3: Þingvellir National Park, Strokkur, Gullfoss, Kerið

• The day starts by driving to Þingvellir National Park, moving from the city of Rejkvaik to the Icelandic countryside. Þingvellir, famous for its beauty and geological and historical value, was accepted as UNESCO’s heritage site in 2004. Later, you will visit Strokkur. It is a fountain geyser and it is Iceland’s most impressive and famous geyser, erupting about every 4-8 minutes, sometimes up to 40 m high. The geyser can easily be reached in a wheelchair. To stop for a snack, there is an accessible restaurant found next to the geyser.
• In the afternoon your guide will show you Gullfoss, the "Golden Waterfall". Wheelchair visitors have a very good view on the waterfall from the parking place, but there is also an accessible viewing platform available. On the way to your accommodation in the area of Selfoss, you will also visit Kerið, a picturesque volcanic crater lake. You stay for the night in a comfortable hotel in the Hella area.

Day 4: LAVA Centre, Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, Vík, Reynisfjara

• You will visit the interesting LAVA Centre in Hvolsvöllur (entrance fee included).

The impressive Seljalandsfoss waterfall will be your next stop for the day. A wheelchair friendly path will take you closer to that picturesque waterfall. Continue to Skógar where you’ll find the picture-perfect Skógafoss waterfall.
• Another highlight of the day is the charming village of Vík. This is Iceland´s most southerly village.

Day 5: Reykjanes, Blue Lagoon

• You will visit the geothermally active peninsula Reykjanes. Your guide will show you two interesting geothermal areas (Seltún/Krýsuvík and Gunnuhver). There, boiling mud pools and colourful mountains can be found. You have the chance to see one of the world’s major tectonic plate boundaries, and you can cross the small bridge which was built as a symbol of the connection between Europe and North America. This plate boundary lies across Iceland and is the reason why Iceland has a high concentration of active volcanoes.
• You will visit the Blue Lagoon, which is easily accessible to everyone, containing an accessible changing room and a special wheelchair to enter the lagoon itself. The deepest part of Blue Lagoon is around 1.60m/5.2ft but most parts of the lagoon are far shallower.
