Vatnajokull National Park. This is one of the biggest parks in Iceland with more than 12,000 square kilometers (4,600 sq mi). The beauty of Vatnajökull National Park lies in its incredibly varied landscapes. A place where rivers, glaciers, volcanoes, and geothermal activity have created a very surreal place. Furthermore, the park offers you an up-close opportunity to experience how glaciers and volcanoes interact with each other. There are a variety of hiking trails within the park. If you crave more action, you can try activities like ice climbing or snowmobiling.

Gullfoss is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland, with more than 10,000 visitors a day. It is one of the most beautiful sights in all of Iceland and a popular place to visit in the summer months. The easiest way to approach Gullfoss is to take a bus from the Blue Lagoon or Gullfossinn to the bottom of the falls or the top of the steps. You can then walk or take a bus back to the Lagoon or the city.
