Private Golden Circle Classic Tour

Highlights
  • Thingvellir National Park
  • Geysir hot springs geothermal area
  • Gullfoss waterfall
Description

This tour takes you to some of Iceland's most iconic natural landmarks. The first stop is Thingvellir National Park, the site of the country's first national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the Hakið lava mesa viewpoint, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Thingvellir area and the largest natural lake in Iceland, Thingvallavatn. As you descend into the Almannagjá rift, you will pass by Thingvallabær rectory and Thingvallakirkja, a charming wooden church. Don't miss the impressive Öxarárfoss waterfall, a man-made wonder created by the Vikings to provide water for their horses and sheep during the annual assembly at Althingi.

Game of Thrones fans may recognize Thingvellir as it served as a filming location for several episodes in season four.

Continuing, you will drive through the scenic Thingvellir National Park, surrounded by picturesque farmsteads, until you reach the Geysir hot springs geothermal area in Haukadalur valley. This unique area is known for its colorful hot springs and mud pools. While the famous Geysir is currently dormant, its neighboring geyser, Strokkur, erupts every 5-8 minutes, shooting scalding geothermal water into the air. Please note that volcanic activity and earthquakes in the region may cause changes in the geothermal area.

The final stop on the tour is Gullfoss waterfall, also known as the "Golden Falls." This magnificent waterfall cascades in three tiers, dropping 32 meters into a narrow basaltic gorge. Gullfoss is a true spectacle, fed by the glacial river Hvítá, which gets its white and blueish color from the Langjökull glacier. On sunny days, the mist from the waterfall creates stunning rainbows, sometimes even double rainbows.

Experience the beauty and power of Iceland's Golden Circle on this unforgettable tour.
