Description
Combine the sights of the Golden Circle with the FlyOver Iceland flight ride in Reykjavik on this 10-hour tour. It suits anyone who wants to see Iceland's natural sights and learn about the country in one day.
The day begins in Reykjavik, where your guide and a comfortable vehicle take you out of the city. The tour suits all travelers, whether you travel alone, with friends, or as a family.
The Golden Circle takes you to some of the best-known landmarks in Iceland.
Your first stop is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater about 6,500 years old with red slopes. You can walk down its staircase to get close to the slopes and the small lake at the bottom.
Next is the Geysir Geothermal Area, home to Strokkur Geyser. Strokkur Geyser erupts every 4 to 16 minutes, and the area has bubbling mud pots and steaming vents.
The tour continues to Gullfoss Waterfall, often called the "Golden Falls." Glacial water drops into a rugged canyon, with heavy mist and rainbows on sunny days.
Walking paths and viewing platforms at Gullfoss Waterfall let you see its two tiers from several angles.
The last Golden Circle stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its history and geology. You walk through Almannagja Gorge, see Oxararfoss Waterfall and Thingvallavatn Lake, and learn about the park's history. Iceland's parliament, the Althing, was founded here in 930 AD and is one of the oldest parliaments in the world.
After the Golden Circle, you return to Reykjavik for FlyOver Iceland. Located in the Old Harbor area, this attraction uses modern technology to simulate a flight over some of the best-known places in Iceland.
Suspended in your seat in front of a 66-foot (20-meter) spherical screen, you feel the wind, smell natural scents, and see glaciers, waterfalls, volcanoes, and other landscapes of Iceland.
The tour combines outdoor sightseeing with a virtual flight, which suits travelers who are short on time.
