The Golden Circle features some of Iceland’s most iconic sights, known for their stunning beauty, fascinating geology, and historical significance. It’s not just the proximity to Reykjavik, but the unique allure of these natural wonders that draws visitors.
The traditional Golden Circle includes Þingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, and Gullfoss Waterfall.
On our Golden Circle tour, you’ll have the opportunity to explore additional spots like Kerið Crater Lake, the Secret Lagoon, Skálholt, Laugarvatn Lake, Fontana Wellness, and Friðheimar Tomato Farm.
Let us personalize your journey and make it truly unforgettable!
Þingvellir National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Iceland’s most historic and scenic locations. It sits in a rift valley where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, creating dramatic landscapes with deep fissures and lava fields. The park is also the site of Iceland’s first parliament, Alþingi, founded in 930 AD. Visitors can explore its hiking trails, admire the Öxarárfoss waterfall, and even snorkel or dive in the crystal-clear waters of Silfra fissure.
Gullfoss, or the “Golden Falls,” is one of Iceland’s most iconic waterfalls, located on the Hvítá River. It cascades in two dramatic tiers, plunging a total of 32 meters into a rugged canyon. On sunny days, mist from the falls creates stunning rainbows, adding to its breathtaking beauty. Gullfoss is a key stop on the Golden Circle and is known for its raw power and scenic surroundings.
Geysir Geothermal Park, located in the Haukadalur Valley, is home to bubbling hot springs, steaming vents, and erupting geysers. The most famous, Strokkur, erupts every 5–10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 meters high. Though the Great Geysir, which gave all geysers their name, is mostly dormant, the area’s geothermal activity remains a stunning natural spectacle. Visitors can explore colorful mineral deposits and feel the Earth’s intense heat beneath their feet.
