The Ultimate Golden Circle & Hidden Gems Full Day Tour

The Journey

01. Origin

Reykjavík Base

Your expedition commences. We depart from the capital city, leaving the urban landscape behind as we head directly into the striking, mythical volcanic terrains of South Iceland.
Thingvellir National Park Rift Valley
02. UNESCO Heritage

Þingvellir National Park

Walk the literal divide between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. A site of profound geological wonder and the historical birthplace of Alþingi, Iceland’s ancient parliament.

03. Earth’s Power

Geysir Hot Springs

Traverse the steaming Haukadalur geothermal field. Stand in anticipation as Strokkur, a highly active geyser, violently erupts boiling water up to 30 meters into the sky every few minutes.

Strokkur Geysir Erupting
Gullfoss Waterfall Golden Circle
04. The Crown Jewel

Gullfoss Falls

Behold the raw majesty of the ‘Golden Waterfall’. Watch millions of gallons of glacial meltwater violently cascade down a two-tiered drop into a plunging, ancient canyon.
