Highlights
The adventure begins in the vibrant capital city of Reykjavik. Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation then we set off for a scenic ride.
First stop is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir National Park. This park is the location of Iceland's first Parliament, making it a place of immense cultural importance. At this stop, you will see the dramatic rift valley formed by the separation of tectonic plates and Thingvallavatn Lake, the biggest natural lake in Iceland. While exploring this enchanting landscape, have the opportunity to admire Öxarárfoss cascading gracefully over lava rocks surrounded by pristine natural beauty.
Next stop is the Geysir geothermal area, named after the Great Geysir, the biggest yet dormant geyser in Southwestern Iceland. The smaller Strokkur geyser, however, is active and typically erupts every 6–10 minutes. Witnessing this is a truly captivating experience that highlights the mysterious forces that lie beneath the Earth's surface.
Adding to the golden circle appeal is the mighty Gullfoss waterfall which steals the show with its awe-inspiring display of raw power. The cascading torrents of water plunge into a rugged canyon, leaving visitors in awe of nature's might.
After Gullfoss, we return west to the capital region. Your guide will drop you off at your hotel or at any location in Reykjavik that is convenient for you.
All weather clothing is always useful in Iceland.
