Our day tour to the Golden Circle begins with our fast and efficient pick up service. You simply need to wait at your hotel or at one of the designated pick up points and let us take care of the rest. Once we have all our guests we will set off from the city and journey to our first major destination.
Kerid volcanic crater will be the first stop we make. Kerid is one of many crater lakes located in this area. It became a popular destination due to it's vivid red lava rock that contrast with the aquamarine waters created by the mineral composition in the surrounding soil.
Next we make a unique stop at a local farm and greenhouse called Fridheimar. They currently have around six first-prize award winning broodmares and you will get a chance to visit with them as we include a visit to the stables where you will learn more about the Icelandic horses and their unique gaits. Lunch (at your own expense) will be held in the greenhouse where you will have the possibility to purchase local products on the menu after a visit of the stables.
Our next stop is at Gullfoss waterfall., translated as the Golden waterfall, it drops a stunning 32m over two stages. It is fed from the white river which originates from Iceland’s 2nd biggest glacier.
Journeying on, Geysir time! Time to witness the hot spring Strokkur erupting frequently. There is also a large visitors Centre here and a great spot for you to buy some lunch.
Last up is Thingvellir National Park. This is where the first parliament was formed by the old Viking Leaders.
This area is also notable as being the location where the Eurasian and American tectonic plates are separating from each other.
