The Golden Circle Tour

The Geysir Geothermal Area is a fascinating natural wonder, renowned for its geothermal activity and steaming hot springs. Located in the Haukadalur Valley, this area is home to the famous Strokkur geyser, which erupts every few minutes, shooting hot water up to 30 metres into the air. The geothermal field is also rich with bubbling mud pots, fumaroles, and mineral-rich pools, creating a surreal landscape. Geysir, the geyser after which all others are named, is now mostly dormant but still adds historical significance to this captivating site. A visit offers a unique glimpse into the raw, volcanic energy that shapes Iceland's dramatic scenery.

Þingvellir National Park is a site of immense historical, geological, and cultural significance. It's where the Alþingi, one of the world's oldest parliaments, was established in 930 AD. The park lies in a rift valley created by the separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it a fascinating place for geology enthusiasts. The stunning landscape features dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear lakes, and the famous Silfra fissure, popular for snorkelling and diving. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Þingvellir is a must-visit for those exploring Iceland’s natural and historical wonders.

Gullfoss, located in Iceland's southwest, is one of the country’s most iconic waterfalls. Known as the "Golden Falls," it is part of the Hvítá river and features a two-tiered cascade that plunges dramatically into a rugged canyon. The powerful flow of water, especially when combined with the mist that often creates rainbows on sunny days, makes Gullfoss a stunning natural spectacle. It's a key highlight on Iceland's Golden Circle route, attracting visitors who come to experience its raw beauty and the surrounding wild landscapes.
