Tour Operator: Midgard Adventure
The Golden Circle isn’t just Iceland’s most famous sightseeing route—it’s a journey through history, geology, and raw natural power. Join us as we explore Þingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss with a local twist, led by our expert guide who knows all the hidden gems along the way.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of Iceland’s democracy, Þingvellir is where Vikings gathered to lay the foundations of one of the world's oldest parliaments. But this place isn’t just about history—it’s where continents collide! Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and witness the slow but powerful forces shaping Iceland’s dramatic landscape.
Meet the original geyser—Geysir—though these days, it’s mostly its energetic little sibling, Strokkur, putting on a show. Every few minutes, it launches a jet of scalding water high into the sky, a reminder that the earth beneath your feet is alive. The bubbling hot springs, rising steam, and that unmistakable scent of geothermal energy make this a truly otherworldly experience. Stay ready—Strokkur has a knack for catching people off guard!
Golden by name, golden by nature. Gullfoss is one of Iceland’s most breathtaking waterfalls, cascading down two tiers into a rugged canyon. Feel the sheer power of the falls from up close—or, if you prefer, from the warmth of the cozy café nearby with a hot drink in hand.
The Golden Circle is a classic—but with Midgard, it’s anything but ordinary.
