The Golden Circle Classic |
This popular excursion introduces you to some of the best-known natural phenomena in Iceland. We visit Nesjavellir power plant, high temperature geothermal area situated in the picturesque landscape of Lake Þingvallavatn. We enter Þingvellir, there the Icelandic parliament Alþingi was founded in 930, which makes it the oldest known functioning parliament in the world. Geologically it is unique and there the tectonic plates meet, that is America and Europe, and these continents are slowly drifting apart. We continue to the beautiful waterfall Gullfoss and from there towards the geothermal area around the incredible spouting hot springs of Geysir and Strokkur. We proceed to Skálholt church, the ancient seat of the Icelandic bishops. On our way back we will make a photo stop by the colourful volcanic crater Kerið. From there we travel through fertile agricultural areas to Hveragerði, a small and charming horticultural village. Due to weather and road conditions we cannot guarantee visits to Nesjavellir in the wintertime.

Golden Circle Glacier Super Jeep Tour!
The Golden Circle tour allows visitors to get in touch with some of Iceland's most famous and exciting natural phenomena.
First stop is at Þingvellir National Park, which is one of Iceland's most significant historical sites because it was there that Iceland's first parliament was founded in the year 930 AD. From Þingvellir we head along mountain tracks toward the world-renowned geothermal area around Geysir hot spring. From there we continue on to Gullfoss waterfall where your proximity to its edge is so close you can feel the spray of the glacial water on your face.
Next we kick the action into higher gear to get even closer to Iceland's nature and go for a snowmobiling tour on Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier.
Please note! It is essential to present a valid driving licence in order to drive a snowmobile. After an action-packed day we make a short photo stop at the colourful crater caldera Kerið and pass by the greenhouse village in Hveragerði, on our way back to Reykjavík.
