Reykjavík: Grand Golden Circle Full-Day Tour

Kerið volcanic crater is the first stop we make. Kerið is a crater lake that became a focal point for tourist activity thanks to the breathtaking contrast of its blue waters and red lava rock surroundings.

Our next stop is the Gullfoss Waterfall otherwise known as the Golden Falls. Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most majestic waterfalls. The waterfall originates in the Langjökull glacier and gets its name from the golden hue it gives off as it tumbles down into the canyon.

After Gullfoss, we venture to the geothermal area called after the original geyser called Geysir. The Geysir area boosts with steam vents, bubbling pits, hot ponds, magnificent colours and the highlight of the site, Strokkur Geyser. Strokkur performs natural and powerful eruptions, spouting water and steam some 20m up in the air every 10 minutes. Walking paths take you between interesting geothermal features so you don't miss out on any wonder or the smell!

Our last stop (certainly not the least) is the National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site called Þingvellir (Thingvellir). Þingvellir is Iceland's most important site when it comes to history and geology. This is where the worlds first parliament was established by the Vikings in 930 AD, making it the oldest active parliament in the world. The park sits in a rift valley caused by the separation of 2 tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the North American.

Starting from the bottom of the Rift Valley you walk in the footsteps of the Vikings, along impressive Almannagjá all the way to Hakið. Hakið is an ideal viewing point giving you a great overview of the whole area. You can almost witness the continental drift as you take a walk between the American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Please note: the duration of the tour is 8.5hrs. The tour allows for lunch at the Geysir area.
