Golden Circle Afternoon Trip to Thingvellir, Geysir Area & Gullfoss Waterfalls

About the Activity

What to Expect

Begin your remarkable adventure from Reykjavik with our day trip and board our comfortable bus, exploring Iceland's "Golden Circle", which combines the most iconic attractions Iceland has to offer, such as Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur, and the mesmerizing waterfalls of Gullfoss. As you travel, our knowledgeable guide provides fascinating insights into the rich history and geology of Iceland.

Your first stop is the stunning Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of immense geological and historical significance. Here, you'll have the opportunity to walk through the dramatic Almannagjá gorge, which stretches 7.7 km between the American and Eurasian tectonic plates. This site is not only a natural wonder, but also a cultural treasure for Icelanders, giving you a glimpse into the nation's past.

Continuing your adventure, you visit the Geysir Geothermal Area in Haukadalur Valley, where you witness the power of nature firsthand. Although the original Geysir is now dormant, the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts frequently, shooting boiling water high into the sky. Finally, you arrive at the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, where the Hvítá river cascades over a unique mineral-rich bed, creating its famous golden shimmer. After soaking in the beauty of these natural wonders, the tour concludes with a scenic drive back to Reykjavik.
