Tour Operator: Troll.is
You will be picked up from Reykjavík, between 9am and 9.30.
Your adventure begins when your experienced guide picks you up in a comfortable minibus in the morning to explore the famous Golden Circle.
Thingvellir National Park
We visit the place where the two tectonic plates, the North American and the Eurasian plate, are moving away from each other. Few places in the world offer a better and clearer view of this massive geographic activity. The biggest natural lake in Iceland is also located at Thingvellir National Park and hosts a great variety of fish and bird life. Thingvellir is also an important place for Icelandic national history. At Thingvellir Icelanders founded their parliament in 930 a.d. where the chieftains had their annual meeting every summer. The name “Thingvellir” translates to “Parliament Plains”. We avoid the big-bus crowds, which makes this tour so popular.
Bruarfoss Waterfall- Included from April 1st
This waterfall is truly a hidden gem located into Iceland's secret breathtaking landscapes, often referred to as "Iceland’s Bluest Waterfall".
Compared to other waterfalls, its size can appear quite small and its cascading waters through lava rocks create a scene of unique serenity into your soul!
Geysir Geothermal Area
The Geysir geothermal area hosts hundreds of colorful hot springs and two geysers, erupting hot springs. One is called “Geysir” and name giving for all the geysers in the world. Today, however, it erupts very seldom. The other geyser is called “Strokkur” and erupts every 5 minutes up to 40 meters.
Gullfoss Waterfall
The melting water from Iceland's second biggest glacier, Langjökull, falls into a deep canyon forming the majestic “Golden Falls”. On a sunny day, you can see the glacier Langjökull in the distance and enjoy a rainbow in the mist of the waterfall, an Instagram blockbuster waiting to happen!
Kerid Volcanic Crater- Included from April 1st
Kerid is a volcanic crater known for its vibrant contrast of colours.
The approximately 6.500-year-old volcanic crater in South Iceland is undoubtedly the perfect Golden Circle detour.
Kerid is part of the Western Volcanic Zone that includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, making it one of the three most recognisable volcanic craters in Iceland.
