Why you’ll love this Golden Circle tour

See Iceland’s “greatest hits” in one day: national park + geysers + waterfall + crater lake.
Strokkur erupts regularly: watch boiling water shoot up to 30 metres, roughly every 8 minutes.
Gullfoss is a showstopper: the Hvítá river plunges in two steps into a deep canyon.
UNESCO + geology: Þingvellir sits between tectonic plates and is central to Icelandic history.
Kerið included: free entry to the colourful volcanic crater lake.

What to expect

The Golden Circle is Iceland’s most famous sightseeing loop—and for good reason. In one day you’ll cover wildly different landscapes and learn the stories
behind them: tectonic plate movement, geothermal power, glacial rivers, and the historic foundations of Icelandic society.

Stop 1: Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park

Þingvellir is both a geological wonder and a historic landmark. It lies at the intersection of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and it’s also
a place of deep cultural importance—recognised on the UNESCO World Heritage list for its cultural value.

Stop 2: Geysir geothermal area (Strokkur eruption)

Next, head into geothermal country. At Geysir, you’ll see bubbling hot springs—and the star of the show, Strokkur, which erupts regularly,
sending steaming water high into the air.

Stop 3: Gullfoss waterfall

Just a short drive from Geysir is Gullfoss (“Golden Falls”), where the glacial river Hvítá surges over the falls and drops into a canyon.
It’s one of those places where photos don’t quite capture how loud and powerful it feels in person.

Bonus stop: Kerið volcanic crater lake

The tour also includes a visit to Kerið, a volcanic crater lake with striking colours and a classic “walk-the-rim” viewpoint.
Entry is included.
