The Golden Circle is a sightseeing route that connects three of Iceland's most famous natural attractions. It's the ideal destination for travelers who want to maximize their time while exploring some of the best natural attractions in Iceland.

First, you'll explore Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site with unique geological and historical significance. This is where Iceland's first parliament, the Althing, was founded in 930 AD.

Thingvellir is also where you can see the rift valley separating the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Thanks to its unique location, gorges, rock formations, waterfalls, and water-filled cracks are largely present in the area,

Next, you'll visit the Geysir geothermal area, home to the now inactive Geysir, which gave the term geyser to the world. Fortunately, its neighboring Strokkur geyser remains active, with its hot water eruption every 5 to 10 minutes.

Surrounding hot springs and fumaroles make this spot a mesmerizing display of Iceland's geothermal activity.

The tour continues to Gullfoss, or "Golden Falls". This powerful waterfall is a must-see for anyone visiting Iceland. Gullfoss boasts a massive two-tiered cascade that often forms rainbows on sunny days. 

Lastly, you'll stop at the Kerid crater, a striking volcanic crater filled with bright blue water. The crater lake features red slopes that are partially covered by green mosses in summer and snow in winter.

Throughout the tour, you'll have opportunities for extra photo stops in scenic spots like Laugarvatn, Hveragerdi, and the Hellisheidi mountain pass, with time permitting.

For those interested, the tour can also include a lunch stop at the Fridheimar farm, where you can enjoy a meal surrounded by Icelandic tomato plants (additional cost applies).

At the end of the tour, the guide will drive you to your chosen drop-off location.
