What To Expect
Thingvellir National Park
Explore Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Iceland’s history and geology come together. Walk through the rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, visit the site of the world’s first parliament (Alþingi), and enjoy views of lava fields, fissures, and Þingvallavatn, Iceland’s largest natural lake.
Gullfoss Falls
Experience the power of Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls. Watch as glacial water from the Hvítá River plunges in two dramatic stages into a rugged canyon, creating mist and frequent rainbows on sunny days. Walk along designated viewing paths to take in the waterfall from different angles and enjoy the surrounding raw Icelandic landscape.

5.00We had a wonderful, magical day doing the Golden Circle tour. We learn about the history, nature, culture, and thermal power/ heating. We saw a lot and had easy walks at volcanic craters, agricultural, and national Parks waterfalls and deep gorges. Urss was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Our driver was excellent too. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00Brilliant tour - taking in the crater, waterfall, geyser and Parliament stone as well as a couple of unscheduled stops to pet the horses, eat ice cream and sample fermented shark! Roman (Kris) was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide, telling us about the human and geological history as well as what it's like to live in Iceland today. It was a beautiful sunny day which only helped. Highly recommended!
