ICELAND DAY EXCURSIONS

 

RE-04 - The Golden Circle 

The sights of the Golden Circle are the Geysir geothermal area, the Golden waterfall Gullfoss and the National Park of Thingvellir.

 

Tour features
You can walk around the world-famous Geysir area, a geothermal field where hot springs are in abundance, geysers explode and pools of mud bubble. The Geysir museum is included as a main feature of this area, an informative multimedia exhibition that vividly shows how the forces of nature shaped the country and the people.

One of many highlights of the tour is the volcanic crater, Keriš, and another is the Gullfoss waterfall, the queen of Iceland's waterfalls, tumbling down a deep gorge. Finally, but no less spectacular is a visit to the Žingvellir National Park. This is the place of the most historic events in Iceland and exceptional beauty. Žingvellir is the original site of the oldest existing parliament in the world. The Great Atlantic rift is clearly visible, a rift which is slowly pulling Iceland apart along tectonic plates.

Locations visited
Hveragerši greenhouse village, Keriš volcanic crater, Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir hot spring area and Žingvellir National Park* (*If weather and road conditions are favorable during the hardest winter months).
