The Details
Are you looking to unleash the adventurer in you? And explore the unique nature of Iceland? Then this is the perfect adventure day for you and your family or friends.
Description
The Golden Circle is Iceland's most famous route, and it’s easy to see why. Located close to the capital, it provides a range of natural scenery to explore, rich with stories spanning from Iceland's early settlement to the present.
Our first stop is Thingvellir National Park, a gem with immense historical and geological significance. This is where Iceland’s parliament was established in 930 A.D., with thirty ruling chiefs gathering here annually to discuss the island's laws until Danish rule began. It’s also where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, allowing us to “walk between continents” at this unique location. Adding to the experience, we’ll take a short hike to the picturesque Öxararfoss waterfall, one of Iceland's few human-made waterfalls. The Öxará River was redirected in the 10th century to provide water for parliamentary assemblies.
The journey continues to the Geysir geothermal area, where we can watch Strokkur, a powerful geyser, erupt every five minutes. We then head to Gullfoss waterfall, renowned for its thundering cascades and hypnotizing beauty.
Finally, we’ll visit Kerið crater lake, nestled within a 3,000-year-old caldera with vividly colored waters and rock walls that create a striking end to our day.
The tour emphasizes both nature and culture as we explore in a small group, with no more than 19 people in a comfortable minibus. This allows our guide to connect with each guest, creating a friendly, engaging atmosphere throughout the journey.
*Please note that lunch is not included in the tour price.
