The tour starts with a pick-up at your accommodation in Reykjavik in the morning, after which you will proceed to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will be mesmerized by the beautiful geological features of the park, including the rift valley between the tectonic plates that runs through Iceland. Thingvellir was also the birthplace of the oldest existing parliament, established in 930 AD, making it a significant site for Icelandic history.
Next, you head to the Strokkur and the Geysir area. Did you know that the English word "geyser" comes from the largest geyser in the Haukadalur area in Iceland? While the original Geysir is almost inactive now, you can still witness boiling water erupting up to 98 feet (30 meters) every five minutes at Strokkur, only a few meters away.
The tour then takes you to the magnificent and powerful Gullfoss Waterfall, set in a narrow canyon and cascades down 105 feet (32 meters) into a glacial river. The view from above is breathtaking, and you can walk down the path to get close to the waterfall's powerful force.
After this, you head to Fridheimar Sustainable Tomato Farm, where you can enjoy a unique lunch experience inside a greenhouse surrounded by tomato plants. The restaurant has a tropical climate and mainly serves dishes made with tomatoes grown on the farm. You will learn about sustainable farming and witness the power of geothermal heat and geothermally generated electricity used to cultivate tomatoes.
Before returning to Reykjavik, you will make a stop to meet some friendly Icelandic horses, a very unique breed known for their small stature and strength. The experienced guide will teach you about these incredible creatures and their role in Icelandic culture.
The tour concludes with a drive along the South Coast of Iceland to Reykjavik, arriving in the early evening. Don't miss the opportunity to explore Iceland's natural beauty, history, and culinary scene in one day with this Golden Circle and Fridheimar tour.
