Your Adventure Begins in Reykjavik

Your day begins with pickup from your hotel or a designated pickup location in Reykjavik. Settle into a comfortable vehicle and head towards the Golden Circle, where open countryside gives way to rift valleys, steaming springs, and powerful waterfalls.

Pickup begins at 9:00 am and can take up to 40 minutes. Please be ready at the start of the pickup period.

Þingvellir National Park: Between Continents

Explore Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s history and geology come together in a dramatic landscape.

Walk through Almannagjá, a rift within the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Discover the site of the Alþingi, Iceland’s parliament, established in 930, and explore the park’s natural beauty, including Öxarárfoss waterfall.

With your guide sharing the stories behind this UNESCO World Heritage Site, take time to appreciate a place that has helped shape Iceland.

Geysir: Iceland’s Geothermal Landscape

Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where steam rises from the ground and hot springs bubble across the landscape.

Watch Strokkur send a column of hot water into the air, erupting every few minutes. Explore the surrounding springs and steaming vents as your guide explains the geothermal forces at work beneath your feet.

Keep your camera ready—an eruption is a memorable sight to capture.

Gullfoss: The Power of Falling Water

Next, visit Gullfoss, where the waters of the Hvítá river plunge into the canyon below.

Follow the viewing paths for different perspectives of the falls and feel the spray as you take in their scale and power. Along the way, discover the story of Sigríður Tómasdóttir and her efforts to protect this remarkable waterfall.

Kerið Crater: A Colourful Finale

Your final stop is Kerið Crater, where red and orange volcanic slopes frame a blue crater lake.

Walk along the rim for views across the surrounding landscape, or follow the path down for a closer look at the water and rock formations. Learn about the crater’s volcanic history before beginning the journey back to Reykjavik.

Return to Reykjavik

After a day of exploring, return to Reykjavik for drop-off at your hotel or a central location. The evening is yours to enjoy the city or relax after your Golden Circle adventure.

One Day. So Much to Discover.

From historic rift valleys and bubbling hot springs to roaring waterfalls and colourful volcanic slopes, this journey brings together an extraordinary variety of Icelandic scenery.
