8-Hour Golden Circle Tour with Fridheimar Greenhouse & Transfer from Reykjavik

Hop on board this tour for a delightful day’s journey to the most fabulous sites in Iceland. This tour has something to interest anyone who wants to understand what makes Iceland so special, whether it is history, culture, or geology. Kick back on a comfortable, well-appointed tour bus, put your feet up and don't worry about the driving!

The tour begins by taking you past beautiful scenery to the Geysir hot spring area, then to Gullfoss waterfall. First, enjoy an impressive collection of geothermal features in one central location, including hissing steam vents, bubbling mud pools and colourful algae.

Although the mighty Geysir, after which all geysers are named, has gone quiet, one of the world's most reliable geysers, Strokkur, is nearby. It blasts out a column of scalding water every 10 minutes or so, rocketing up to 20 m (66 ft) into the air.

Your next stop, Gullfoss, is a shocking display of nature's power: A huge, wide waterfall spewing billions of gallons of water, clouds of mist billowing into the air. The paved path allows you to get right next to the falls, to feel the earth-shaking power of this natural wonder under the soles of your feet.

Finally, explore the enthralling sights of Þingvellir National Park. The site boasts some of the most striking landscapes in Iceland, including the nation's largest natural lake and the Almannagjá canyon which marks the rift between two tectonic plates. Each year, the plates move approximately 2 mm further apart! Take the easy path between the plates and see their looming edges for yourself. Reach out and touch the millennia between you and the ever-moving earth!

You'll also visit the Friðheimar greenhouse cultivation centre, where Icelanders have learned to use the abundant geothermal heat to create spaces where fresh vegetables can be grown all throughout the year. Friðheimar is a fully working Icelandic farm with horses as well.
