Golden Circle Classic
Embark on a journey through Iceland’s iconic Golden Circle, where you can witness the country’s stunning and diverse natural wonders in just one day. Explore a crevice formed by tectonic plates, marvel at a geyser erupting, visit one of Iceland’s most beloved waterfalls, and capture the beauty of a crater lake. Unlike crowded bus tours, this private Golden Circle tour offers a more intimate experience with a dedicated driver guide, making it the most popular day tour in Iceland.
Itinerary for the Golden Circle Classic
A short drive from Reykjavik is Nesjavellir and Hengill volcano where you visit a geothermal power plant, and learn about how it provides Reykjavik with hot water and electricity without polluting.
Next stop is Thingvellir national park, where the Icelandic parliament was founded in 930 AD. This is where the Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates meet, having formed a crevice while slowly drifting apart.
After crossing Lyngdalsheidi you get to Gullfoss waterfalls. The name translates to “Golden Waterfall”, and the “gold” is the rainbow that forms on sunny days over the waterfall as it cascades down the Hvita River in two steps.
After enjoying lunch you head to Geysir hot spring area. There you find Geysir, from where the English word “geyser” gets its meaning, and the geyser Strokkur which spouts boiling water 25-30 meters into the air every 5-10 minutes.
On the way back to Reykjavik you have the option to stop at Kerid Crater Lake (Entry fee not included). Because of minerals in the water it’s an opaque and aquamarine color. Once back in Reykjavik your driver guide will drop you off at your hotel or a restaurant of your choice.
