Explore the stunning Stuðlagil Canyon, marvel at Iceland's deepest gorge, relax in a natural hot spring, and visit the impressive Kárahnjúkar power plant. An unforgettable East Icelandic adventure!

Stuðlagil Canyon boasts one of Iceland's largest basalt column formations, making it a photogenic site, especially when the river runs clear. The blue-green water contrasts beautifully with the basalt columns, leaving visitors in awe. Despite seasonal changes, the canyon remains consistently stunning.

On this tour, visit Stuðlagil Canyon from the renovated viewpoint at Grund, offering aerial views from safe platforms and trails. Next, journey to Hafrahvammagljúfur Canyon, Iceland's deepest gorge, known as Dimmugljúfur or "The Dark Canyon."

Enjoy a soak in a natural hot spring surrounded by serene wilderness (Note: No facilities available). On the return, stop at the Hálslón reservoir and Kárahnjúkar dam to view Iceland's largest power plant, one of Europe's biggest.
