What's included in Private Valley of Tears and Highland Adventures
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Gjain
Gjáin (pronounced "GYA-een") is a hidden oasis in Iceland's Þjórsárdalur valley. This small, lush green ravine dramatically contrasts with the surrounding barren volcanic landscapes. It features multiple small waterfalls, tranquil ponds, unique lava formations, and basalt columns, creating a truly magical, fairy-tale-like atmosphere.
Haifoss
Háifoss, meaning "High Waterfall," is one of Iceland's tallest and most majestic waterfalls, plunging 122 meters (400 feet) into a dramatic canyon in the Þjórsárdalur valley. It's often visited alongside its "neighbor" waterfall, Granni, which cascades close by. The raw power of the water against the ancient, layered cliffs, with the formidable Hekla volcano in the distance, creates a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. While accessible by car (4x4 recommended for the final gravel stretch), its slightly more remote location keeps it less crowded than some other major falls, offering a more serene and powerful experience.
Volcano Hekla
Rauðaskál Crater: Also affectionately known as the "Apple Crater," Rauðaskál is a strikingly colorful volcanic crater located near the mighty Hekla volcano. Its defining feature is a vibrant display of deep reds and lush greens, a result of mineral deposits and volcanic activity, offering a stark and beautiful contrast against the surrounding dark volcanic desert. Rauðaskál is relatively small and accessible via a short hike (4x4 required to reach the trailhead), making it a popular, photogenic "secret pearl" in the Highland landscape.
