    Thingvellir

    Embark on a journey through the famous Golden Circle, one of Iceland’s most celebrated sightseeing routes. This full-day guided tour takes you to the tectonic rift valley at Þingvellir National Park, the bubbling geothermal area of Geysir where Strokkur geyser erupts every few minutes, and the majestic Gullfoss waterfall, often framed by sparkling winter ice. We start the day at Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates meet. Known for its dramatic landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and historical significance as the site of Iceland’s first parliament, it offers both natural beauty and cultural depth. Note: The Golden Circle Tour operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Therefore, it may not always take place on day 2 of your trip — the exact day will depend on which weekday you book. This will also determine the order of any optional tours you choose to include in your itinerary.
