• Reykjadalur Gonguleio - This captivating adventure starts in the delightful town of Hveragerði, where participants are provided with a headlamp and guided along a picturesque trail into the night. The hike takes approximately one hour, gradually leading through stunning landscapes as daylight diminishes. As shadows grow, the air becomes cooler, and the valley adopts a serene, almost mystical ambiance. Reykjadalur—meaning “Steam Valley”—is vibrant with geothermal activity. Bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and earthy scents line the path, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that feels otherworldly in the nighttime stillness. Walking through this surreal landscape, one can witness nature’s quiet power, surrounded by native plants and nocturnal wildlife in this unique ecosystem.
• Reykjadalur Hot Springs - The destination: a naturally heated river nestled within the hills, where warm waters await under a starlit sky. During the Northern Lights season, this secluded valley becomes a natural stage for one of Earth’s most spectacular displays. Far from city lights, the sky above Reykjadalur provides ideal conditions for aurora viewing. Imagine soaking in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the hot river, steam rising into the air, while waves of green, pink, and violet light dance overhead. It’s a moment of pure enchantment—a sensory experience that combines warmth, silence, and awe in perfect harmony. Even when the auroras are not visible, the night sky here offers its own spectacle. On a clear night, constellations shine brightly above, undimmed by urban light. The stars appear closer, more vivid, casting a gentle glow over the valley. Whether floating in the river or sitting along its banks, the feeling is one of peace and timeless wonder.
