Your exciting day begins with a pickup in a private vehicle, the modern Tesla Model Y. This eco-friendly vehicle is fully electric, an excellent option for environmentally conscious travelers.

After getting comfortable in the vehicle, you’ll depart Reykjavik, heading into the picturesque countryside. Relax and enjoy the gorgeous views of farms, old churches, and mountains, an excellent first taste of the day’s glorious scenery.

Standard Golden Circle tours visit three spectacular attractions. However, they overlook other incredible sites you can see along the way. Today’s excursion stops at additional locations, offering you a complete experience you won’t want to miss.

First, you’ll stop at the Kerid volcanic crater, a 3,000-year-old caldera. You can take a short hike to the top, which rewards you with superb views of the crater lake. It’s filled with dazzling turquoise water, offering the perfect photo opportunity.

The tour’s next stop is a local greenhouse farm that uses geothermal energy and modern horticultural engineering to grow fresh produce. You can sample a few farm-to-table treats here, a delicious way to learn about rural Icelandic living.

Then it’s time to check off the three main Golden Circle sites, all bucket list attractions for travelers to Iceland.

First on the list is the Geysir geothermal area. It’s home to the Great Geysir, famous as the world’s oldest recorded geyser. Today it lies dormant, but you’ll see plenty of action from the Strokkur geyser here, which erupts every 5-10 minutes.

The landscape at the Geysir geothermal area seems otherworldly. You can marvel at boiling mud pits and steaming fumaroles while waiting for Strokkur’s magnificent display.

Next, you’ll visit the Gullfoss waterfall, also called the Golden Falls. It’s one of the country’s most spectacular waterfalls, cascading down a 90-degree bend in the Hvita river. Sunny days produce a rainbow in front of the waterfall, adding to the already beautiful setting.

The day’s final stop is at the third Golden Circle attraction, Thingvellir National Park. This unique and stunning location is the only place you can walk between two continents globally. The North American and Eurasian tectonic plates move apart by around 0.8 inches (two centimeters) each year.

As you ponder this fascinating phenomenon, also know that Thingvellir holds a special place in the hearts of the Icelandic people for another reason. The Althingi started here in the year 930 and has the title of the world’s longest-surviving parliament.

After an unforgettable day full of culture, history, and nature, your driver will take you back to your Reykjavik accommodation.
