Opting for Private Driver ensures a comfortable and personalized exploration of Iceland, allowing you to experience the highlights at your own pace. Embark on a private Golden Circle journey starting from Keflavik airport.
Taking you to Þingvellir National Park and Rift Valley where the tectonic plates drift apart and the vikings held their High Counsel Althingi in the middle of a lava field.
Then visiting the Geysir Hot Spring area, a geothermal site with Europe's only erupting geyser Strokkur, which erupts every 4-5 minutes spouting steaming hot water jets towards the sky.
Then on to the absolutely beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, Iceland's biggest two-stepped waterfall situated in the glacial Hvítá river flowing from the massive Langjökull Glacier. During the last part of the tour we hit the ring road which offers even more options for add-ons if desired.

Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park and Rift Valley where you can witness the Eurasian and The North American tectonic plates moving apart is also where the oldest ongoing parliament in the world was formed in 930 AD. Coming from Reykjavik we first hit the edge of The North American Plate and not far from the parking lot is the law rock where most of the major decisions in the history of Iceland have been taken. The continental crust is quite thin and the earth surface is littered with fissures and rifts created by those two major plates moving apart and the plate boundaries are clearly visible here. The movement is very slow 1-3 cm per year but has been going on for millions of years and the actual width of the rift valley is around 7 km. The mountain ranges all around here are also a part of the same phenomenon, created during increased periods of volcanic activity and sometimes carved out by glaciers during last ice age.
