DESCRIPTION:

Embark on a captivating journey through the Golden Circle, with convenient pick-up from designated locations in Reykjavik or the Skarfabakki cruise ship terminal.

We'll begin at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This historically significant location also housed the world's longest-running parliament, established in 930 AD.

Next, we'll explore the geothermal area near Haukadalur Valley, a landscape dotted with hot springs. Here, you'll witness the awe-inspiring geysers, including the legendary Geysir, which gave its name to these natural wonders, and the frequently erupting Strokkur, which shoots water up to 30 meters high.

Prepare for an unforgettable encounter with the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. Stand at the edge of the canyon and feel the spray on your face as you witness the raw power and stunning beauty of this iconic Icelandic landmark. It's a truly inspiring experience.

Finally, we'll visit the stunning Kerid Crater, a vibrant volcanic crater lake. The vivid colors of the lake and surrounding landscape offer a perfect photo opportunity and a unique glimpse into Iceland's volcanic history.
