Thingvellir National Park

First we’ll take you to the largest attraction of the Golden Circle: Thingvellir National Park. Let’s have a nice stroll through the magnificent landscapes of Thingvellir, surrounded by gorgeous mountains and volcanic ranges. It’s also a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk.. between two continents! You can do that in the rift valley located between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Silfra Fissure - Extra Snorkeling Experience

No better spot for an unforgettable snorkeling experience than the famous Silfra fissure, which stands among the top attractions Golden Cirle has to offer. The astonishing clarity of its water reveals a truly mesmerizing, colorful world – an unforgettable view you’ll never see above the surface. Join the divemasters and immerse yourself in Iceland’s underwater beauty in the unique place between two continents, created by separation of Eurasian and North American tectonic plates!

Bruarfoss Waterfall

One of the iconic Icelandic waterfalls, named “bridge waterfall” after a stone archway that used to cross the Brúará River, astonishes with its brilliantly blue water.

Geysir

You’ll then see the geyser who gave the name to all geothermal fields – the one and only Geysir. The entire area located in Haukadalur Valley is a hot spring paradise, keeping you entertained with spontaneous outbursts of hot water columns among endless clouds of steam. Prepare for an unforgettable spectacle of Iceland’s geological forces that will take you to the world of fantasy!

Gulfoss

The last one of the three Golden spots on your list is the enormous Gullfoss waterfall, one of the most powerful and iconic waterfalls in Iceland. Its grand cascades of water will astonish you with yet another display of nature’s untamed force.

Friðheimar Tomato Farm

Your next stop will be the extraordinary Friðheimar tomato farm, where we can taste THE BEST tomato soup in the world! If tomatoes bring to your mind pictures of „La Tomatina” festival in Spain, the unique food experience at a family-run restaurant in Iceland will change forever the way you think about these tasty red vegetables…

Kerið Crater

Powered by a healthy and delicious meal, on your way back to Reykjavik you’ll get the chance to spot Kerið. You can’t miss the three thousand year old volcanic crater. The more awe-inspiring views (and photos!) the better, right?
