Description
Explore the Golden Circle on this private, custom-made tour, which includes the main Golden Circle attractions and more. It suits nature lovers, photographers, and anyone who wants to see the natural sights of Iceland.
The day begins with pickup from your hotel or a designated bus stop in Reykjavik in a luxury vehicle. On the way to the Golden Circle, you see mountains, lakes, and lava fields.
Your first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you see the rift valley between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
You walk along Almannagja Gorge, see the clear water of Silfra Fissure, and learn about the history of the site, where Iceland's parliament, the Althing, was founded in 930 AD. It is one of the oldest parliaments in the world.
Next, you visit Gullfoss Waterfall, the "Golden Falls," where the glacial Hvita River drops in two tiers into a rugged canyon and the spray reaches your face.
You then arrive at the Geysir Geothermal Area, where Strokkur Geyser, the most active geyser in the area, erupts every 4 to 16 minutes.
Your last stop on the Golden Circle is Kerid Crater, a volcanic crater with a turquoise lake. You can walk along the rim and take in the views of the surrounding landscape.
If you want to see more, you can add activities to your itinerary at your own expense; let the operator know when you book.
For example, you can relax in the Secret Lagoon, a geothermal hot spring, or go snorkeling between the continents in Silfra Fissure, where visibility reaches about 328 feet (100 meters).
You can also visit Skalholt, a historic site, to learn about Iceland's religious and cultural heritage, or go to Lake Laugarvatn and Fontana Wellness Spa for natural geothermal baths with lake views.
Another option is Fridheimar Tomato Farm, where you learn about its sustainable farming and try tomato-based treats.
