GOLDEN CIRCLE TOUR
8 hours - best seller tour! This is a full day excursion to Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir hot springs and Thingvellir National Park. On the Golden Circle Tour you can walk around the world-famous Geysir geothermal area, a geothermal field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. One of the Golden Circles many highlights is the Gullfoss waterfall, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls. Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to the Þingvellir National Park. This is the original site of the oldest existing parliament in the world. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible, a rift that is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates.

GOLDEN CIRCLE TOUR
This is Iceland’s most popular day excursion from Reykjavik. The Golden Circle Tour includes many of the scenic natural wonders for which Iceland is justly renowned. We start with the highland plateau of Hellisheiði, an area with large lava fields and steaming valleys and we pass the greenhouse town of Hveragerði. Onwards we reach the geothermal active valley of Haukadalur which contains the geysers Geysir and Strokkur. We explore this otherworldly hot spring area, a geothermal field covered with multicolored pools of water where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explore and pools of mud bubble. Strokkur, the Great Geysir’s little brother, is spouting to a height of about 25 meters (82 ft) and erupts at about 5-7 minute intervals. Included in this tour is also the admission to the Geysir museum.
One of the Golden Circles many highlights is the Gullfoss waterfall, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls. The mighty Gullfoss (the Golden Waterfall) is perhaps the most beautiful in the country. We walk around Gullfoss Falls, where the river Hvitá tumbles 32 meters (105 ft) in a double cascade. When the sun is shining, you’re likely to see a rainbow through the massive spray that forms.
Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to the Þingvellir National Park (Thingvellir) and UNESCO World Heritage Site. We stroll around the country’s most sacred site, home of the oldest existing parliament in the world, the Alþingi, and major events in our history. Thingvellir is a place of fascinating natural beauty, one of the most geologically spectacular, set on a vast plain flanked by large fissures, right on Iceland’s largest lake, Thingvallavatn. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible; a rift that is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates and you can literally walk between the American and Eurasian continental plates.
