A concise tour of some of Icelands’ premier attractions

5.00We began the trip with a stop at the Fridheimar tomato greenhouse and Icelandic horse farm where we were given a very interesting tour of the organic and hydroponic tomato growing facilities. Note that you can buy excellent quality tomatoes here for a very reasonable price! The second (lunch) stop was at the geysir fields to see boiling pots, Strokkur the geyser erupt, and beautiful fields of wildflowers. The third stop was at Gullfoss Falls, a spectacular jokulhlaup-incised canyon with a raging torrent of a river running through it! The fourth and final stop of the day was at the Thingvellir National Park to see the ancient assembly site of Icelands’ early chieftains. It also happens to be the subaerial expression of the mid-Atlantic rift at the Icelandic hotspot! Here you are literally standing on the boundary between the North American tectonic plate and the Eurasian plate as they move away from one another at a half spreading rate of 1 cm per year! Our coach accommodation was clean, comfortable, and warm, and our driver, Johannes, was skillful and safe. Finally, our tour guide, Gudjon, was patient, accommodating, and a veritable font of information relating to Icelandic history, culture, and natural history!

5.00Great experience! We saw so much of Iceland and so many amazing things and places. Gudjon Jes was our guide and he was great, a 6 on a scale of 1 to 5. He was extremely knowledgeable, generated and answered a lot of questions. It was an 8 hour excursion and he never ran out of energy. He was also quite personable and had a very good sense of humor. We were there on a beautiful Sunday and so everything was very busy but Gudjon navigated us smoothly through the crowds in a manner that allowed us to experience everything and stay on schedule.
We got to see everything and then some. Great views
