Since you are staying at hotel Geysir you can go and admire the hot spring area without the crowds, early morning and in the evening is best. You should not miss a spouting from Strokkur (the churn geysir) which spouts every 5-7 minutes! After a hearty breakfast

This morning we start by driving to Gullfoss Waterfall or the Golden Waterfall before the crowd arrives. After spending some time in the area our next stop will be at a horse farm where we go for a private ride into Haukadalur forest and many other beautiful rivers and fields, we offer you to experience a truly nature-oriented ride.

sightseeing tour along the Southshore, visiting the mighty Skógafoss waterfall, Dyrhólaey bird sanctuary where we might spot some puffins and village of Vík where we enjoy lunch. On our way back we stop at a horse farm and enjoy riding to the black beach. We start at the farm and head south towards the ocean. Along the way, we will cross several rivers and fields before reaching the beautiful Black Beach and the vast Atlantic Ocean. If we are fortunate, we may see a curious seal popping its head up to greet us! We can also enjoy a canter in the soft black sand before making our way back to the farm.
