All about the trip
First stop is Þingvellir National Park, where you retrace the footsteps of ancient Vikings who established their first national parliament here in 930 AD. This would be the settlers first major step towards being an independent nation. Þingvellir is also where the American and Eurasian continental plates are dramatically pulling apart at an annual rate of 2 cm. Also, there, right before your eyes, is Iceland’s largest lake, Þingvallavatn.
Next it´s on to see the world famous Geysir where the ground trembles and steaming hot water spouts spectacularly skywards from the famous Strokkur Geyser every few minutes. Our last stop is the awesome Gullfoss Waterfall, a breathtaking sight to behold. Here a powerful glacial river cascades down 32 meters on two levels and into a narrow canyon with a thunderous roar.
Have a picnic at Þingvellir, take a longer stroll around Geysir, or simply sit back and enjoy the thunder of Gullfoss for longer. The choice is yours!
This unique hop on/hop off tour stops at all of the Golden Circle’s most famous natural wonders and is a must-see for any visitor in Iceland.
The duration of the tour is 7,5-11,5 hours depending on how long you choose to stop at Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss, or how long you want to spend on activity on this scenic route. With four departures from every stop on the route, you can simply sit back and enjoy the very best Iceland has to offer, all in one day. For instance, we recommend having a picnic at Þingvellir or hiking up the hill at Geysir to get a panoramic view of the area.
