Your tour starts when your driver picks you up from your accommodation in Reykjavik. You'll meet your expert, English-speaking guide and the other people on the tour as you set off for the Golden Circle sightseeing route.
The first stop on this Christmas tour is the Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique geological and historical significance.
It sits on the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, offering a rare chance to see the effects of continental drift above ground.
The park is also home to Iceland's first parliament, Althingi, established in 930 AD, making it an important cultural landmark.
Halfway through the tour, you will have a unique opportunity to meet Father Christmas. He will serve you delicious hot chocolate to warm you up and some traditional Icelandic cookies. You'll also have a beloved Christmas song soundtrack, creating a festive atmosphere.
The next Golden Circle sight is the Geysir geothermal area. The Geysir geothermal area is a fascinating destination showcasing the country's volcanic activity.
Located in the Haukadalur valley, it's home to hot springs, bubbling mud pots, and the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every 5-10 minutes, sending water up to 100 feet (30 meters) in the air.
While the original Geysir, after which all geysers are named, is less active today, the area remains a vibrant geothermal hotspot.
Visitors can explore marked trails to see steaming vents and colorful mineral deposits. The Geysir Geothermal Area offers a close-up look at the natural forces shaping Iceland's unique landscape.
During the tour, you will also visit a tomato farm where you can learn about how tomatoes are grown with help from the geothermal forces in the country. You'll also enjoy some tomato soup with a baguette.
The last stop of the tour is Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's most iconic waterfalls, is a mighty double cascade on the Hvita river in Southwest Iceland.
The waterfall plunges in two stages—36 feet (11 meters) and then 69 feet (21 meters) —into a rugged canyon, creating a stunning display of raw energy. Gullfoss waterfall offers well-maintained paths for visitors to admire the falls from various viewpoints.
At the end of the tour, your driver will take you back to your accommodation in Reykjavik.
Enjoy this festive tour, where you'll explore the Golden Circle sightseeing route and meet Santa. Check availability now by choosing a date.
