Our journey begins at Thingvellir National Park, where the Icelandic parliament was founded over 1,000 years ago. At Thingvellir, you’ll witness the slow separation of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates and stand where Viking settlers once gathered to enact national laws.
Next, we head to the Geysir geothermal area in Haukadalur, where you’ll marvel at bubbling hot springs, steam vents, and striking blue algae. Keep your eyes on Strokkur, one of the largest and most powerful geysers, which erupts every 5 minutes.
Our final stop on the Golden Circle tour takes us to the breathtaking Gullfoss waterfall, often referred to as the queen of Icelandic waterfalls. This magnificent cascade plunges dramatically into a deep gorge, leaving you in awe. After taking in the views, we’ll pause for a lunch break at Gullfoss Café.
But the adventure doesn’t end there! After lunch, you’ll experience an exciting off-road Superjeep ride, taking you across glaciers, through rivers, and over rugged terrain in the Icelandic highlands. The landscape is as stunning as it is diverse, and we’ll make stops at some incredible sights along the way.
On the way back, we’ll visit the charming Faxi waterfall before returning to Reykjavik, capping off an action-packed day in Iceland’s extraordinary wilderness.
This evening tour is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowd, see the iconic sights of the Golden Circle and experience the thrill of the open country in a Superjeep.
We reserve the right to reverse the circle to escape the crowds.
