Alt hvad du bør vide om ture til Den Gyldne Cirkel i Island

Den Gyldne Cirkel er velkendt for at være den mest populære sightseeingrute i Island, i vid udstrækning på grund af beliggenheden nær hovedstaden af tre af landets mest inspirerende naturattraktioner; Þingvellir Nationalpark, Geysirs geotermiske dal og det mægtige vandfald Gullfoss ("Det Gyldne Vandfald").

Andre attraktioner undervejs, skønt ikke en del af selve Den Gyldne Cirkel, inkluderer det vulkanske krater Kerið, gården og islageret Efstidalur og den fascinerende økolandsby Sólheimar. Hvis du gerne vil se disse ekstra attraktioner, skal du sørge for at vælge en tur, der inkluderer dem som en del af den planlagte rejseplan. 

Hvad der imidlertid er mindre kendt, er de vidt forskellige måder, som besøgende vælger at tage denne rute på, hvoraf den mest populære er at tage på en guidet i bus eller minibus. Det er en prisbevidst oplevelse af Den Gyldne Cirkel, samtidig med at du får en lærd og erfaren turistguide.

Guider på Den Gyldne Cirkel kan stille fokus på hver attraktion og fortælle dig noget om dens historie og betydning for islandsk kultur samt udpege mindre kendte interessante steder som f.eks. optagelsessteder for HBO fantasy-serien 'Game of Thrones ', hvoraf der er nogle stykker i Thingvellir Nationalpark.

Du kan også opleve Den Gyldne Cirkel på en helikoptertur og gøre den til en af de mere VIP-lignende oplevelser på din ferie. Selvom det uden tvivl er dyrere end sightseeing på jorden, kan du ved at flyve fra attraktion til attraktion få mulighed for at afkorte turtiden fra 8 timer til en enkelt, hvilket gør dette til den mest tidsbesparende, unikke og spændende oplevelsesform på markedet.

En anden mulighed er at køre Den Gyldne Cirkel-rute selv. Denne mulighed giver dig størst frihed i løbet af dagen, så du kan tilbringe lige så meget tid på hver attraktion, som du gerne vil. Og selvom denne tur ikke giver dig den orientering, som du kan få af en professionel turistguide, opvejes det nok af det selskab, du har.

Endelig giver Den Gyldne Cirkel mulighed for mange bonusaktiviteter, der kun kan højne din oplevelse. Disse aktiviteter spænder fra ridning over snescooter på Langjökull gletsjeren til snorkling i Silfra-spalten.

Is the Secret Lagoon part of the Golden Circle?
A classic Golden Circle tour in Iceland has three stops: Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir hot springs area, and Gullfoss Waterfall.
However, many tour companies have their own version of the Golden Circle and include visits to places such as the Secret Lagoon, for example on this 10-hour Golden Circle tour.
If you’re driving the Golden Circle route yourself and want to end the day with a soak in naturally warm spring water, be sure to book your Secret Lagoon ticket well in advance.
Is there a lot of walking on a Golden Circle tour?
Compared to many other tours in Iceland, the Golden Circle is very accessible and doesn’t require much walking. The most challenging place to explore is Gullfoss Waterfall.
You can get close to the waterfall by walking down stairs to reach the viewpoint, but there is also a parking lot closer to the site with accessible parking, where you can avoid the steps if needed. There is also often a lot of mist in the air, so stairs and paths can be slippery in winter.
Is the Golden Circle accessible for people with disabilities?
Some parts of the Golden Circle tour can be difficult for people with disabilities, but many tour operators offer accessible options or private tours that can be adapted to special needs.
The lower platform at Gullfoss Waterfall requires going down stairs and can have slippery paths, but the upper platform is wheelchair-friendly.

Yes, you can book and cancel Golden Circle day tours up to 24 hours before departure.
Can you drive the Golden Circle in Iceland if the weather is bad?
The weather in Iceland can be unpredictable and change in an instant. That’s why Icelandic attractions and landscapes are experienced in almost all kinds of weather. Most Golden Circle tours go ahead as planned, except in rare cases when the weather poses a safety risk. Your tour operator will let you know if the weather is too severe to travel.
If you’re driving yourself, you should check the weather forecast regularly and keep an eye on the SafeTravel website. It’s an excellent safety resource for travelers in Iceland.
What is Thingvellir National Park?
Thingvellir is a national park east of Reykjavik. In the year 930, Iceland’s parliament, Althingi, was founded here, making Thingvellir the home of the world’s oldest existing parliament.
The park lies in a rift valley formed by the separation of two tectonic plates, and it is home to the Silfra fissure, one of the world’s most beautiful places for diving and snorkeling tours. Thingvellir was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2004.
What is Geysir?
Geysir is a famous geyser and geothermal area that gave its name to geysers around the world. Although Geysir itself is almost no longer active, the area is also home to the geyser Strokkur, which shoots large amounts of water 15–25 meters into the air every 5 to 10 minutes.
What is Gullfoss?
Gullfoss is a waterfall in the canyon of the Hvita River and one of Iceland’s most iconic natural attractions. The name means “the golden falls,” and the waterfall is split into two cascades, measuring 11 meters and 21 meters in height.
What is Kerid?
Kerid, which means “the tub,” is a 3,000-year-old volcanic crater with a shallow lake at the bottom. The water has a distinctive blue color due to minerals in the soil, and the area around the crater is very colorful.
Kerid is not one of the three official Golden Circle attractions, but many tour companies include a short stop here on their Golden Circle tours because it’s easy to access and offers a fantastic photo opportunity.
