The wonders of the Golden Circle with farm visits

Extra small group:

This tour is designed for a maximum of 6 guests. This is ideal if you want to avoid traveling in a bigger group, even the so-called "small groups" which are up to 19 people, but without booking a private tour.

This tour requires a minimum of 3 participants to be going and will be canceled if this minimum requirement is not met.

Description of the tour

  • Pickup at your hotel will happen at a pre-agreed time
  • Half a day of visits to the most famous sites of Iceland.
  • Drop off at your hotel at the end of the day.

Visits of the day:

The National Park: Thingvellir

Your guide will walk you through the national park of Thingvellir. With a very rich history that started in the 10th century, and which is very important in the heart of any Icelander, Thingvellir also displays some spectacular natural features that can be seen nowhere else in the world.

Dairy farm visit

Run by the same family for almost 300 years, Efstidalur dairy farm was opened to tourism only a few years ago. It has now become one of the main highlights of the Golden Circle, and we seriously think that they offer the best ice cream in the country!

Geysir and Strokkur

The English word geyser originates from the Icelandic geyser named Geysir. So this is basically the geyser that named all the geysers in the world.

But, as it turns out, this original geyser no longer erupts and is considered dormant. However, nowadays there is another geyser next to it. That one is named Strokkur and it erupts every 5 to 10 minutes.

Gullfoss, the golden waterfall

Gullfoss is not a very high waterfall. Originating in the glacier of Langjökull, it is only 32m high, divided into two drops of respectively 11m and 21m.

But a waterfall does not need to be high to be beautiful, and a waterfall also does not need to be high to be powerful. And Gullfoss is definitely beautiful and extremely powerful.

Thingvellir is a site that presents both a historical and a natural interest.

History

This is where the very first parliament of Europe was founded over 1000 years ago, in the year 930. In this place, Icelandic laws were debated and voted on until the 18th century.

Nature

The tectonic fissure that runs through Iceland, and separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate is visible here in Thingvellir. This is the only place in the world where the North Atlantic ridge is visible above sea level.

Our tour includes a walk to the impressive waterfall of Öxarárfoss.

One would think that coming to Iceland in the winter or in the summer requires bringing completely different outfits.

This is both true and untrue. Let's say that it is very unlikely to be warm in winter and unlikely to be very cold in summer.

This said: Always, always be ready for rain and wind. The weather is highly unpredictable in Iceland and is famous for turning from one extreme to another in an instant.

What does it mean?

It means that no matter how many layers you are wearing in regards to the temperature, you should always have a windproof/rainproof jacket and pair of pants, either to wear or at least with you in your backpack.
