Itinerary
Golden Circle is the ultimate day tour route from Reykjavik. It includes three Iceland's iconic destinations: Geysir geothermal area, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellir national park.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Thingvellir National Park holds great importance both as a natural wonder as well as an historical and cultural center.
Geysir is an iconic location that is a must-see for all visitors to our shores. Strokkur is the main attraction, the geyser which reliably erupts every 5-10 minutes with the water and steam reaching heights of 130ft.
Gullfoss falls, or the Golden waterfall, is one of our most powerful and stunning waterfalls. Fed by a glacial river to the north, the torrent rages over several drops before reaching the canyon bottom.
Kerið crater is the remnant of a massive volcanic eruption some 6500 years ago. At the bottom of the crater is a lake fed by groundwater. Take the steps to the water´s edge or walk along the top of the crater.
Short refreshment break
We return to Reykjavík for a few hours between the sightseeing tour of the southern coastline and pickup for your northern lights hunting tour. You have time to freshen up and grab dinner.
Our evening northern lights tours searches for the northern lights in the countryside within a 90 minute radius of Reykjavik. Our aurora guides study the Icelandic Met. offices aurora forecast as well as cloud cover charts to find clear skies and hopefully a spectacular and colorful aurora display.
