Country: Iceland
Duration: 07:00 hours
Description
Explore the iconic Golden Circle with visits to Þingvellir, Geysir, and the majestic Gullfoss — the queen of Iceland’s waterfalls.
Walk through the beautiful Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its dramatic scenery in every season. Here, you’ll witness the place where Iceland’s tectonic plates drift apart and where the country’s first settlers founded the world’s oldest parliament in the year 930.
The tour then continues to the geothermal geyser area, home of the original Geysir — the namesake of all geysers worldwide. Nearby, the lively Strokkur erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 25 meters into the air. This entire area is alive with fascinating geothermal activity.
From there, you head to the majestic Gullfoss, often referred to by Icelanders as the “queen of waterfalls.” Its powerful two-tiered cascade and mist-filled canyon make it one of the country’s most iconic natural sights.
The Golden Circle is without a doubt one of Iceland’s most popular routes — and one of its greatest highlights — for good reason. It brings together history, geology, and breathtaking natural beauty in one unforgettable experience.
