1Pingvellir National Park
Explore the birthplace of Icelandic democracy and a geological wonder at Thingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, visit the site of the world’s first parliament (Alþingi), and enjoy the natural beauty of rift valleys, lava fields, and crystal-clear waters.
50 minutes • Admission ticket included -
2Geysir
Wander through steamy geothermal fields and witness the famous Strokkur geyser erupt every few minutes, launching hot water up to 20 meters into the sky. This area is rich in geothermal activity, with bubbling mud pots, sulfuric steam vents, and the dormant Great Geysir. After exploring, you can enjoy lunch at the nearby restaurant. (Please note that lunch is at your own expense).
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Brú horsefarm
Meet Iceland’s gentle and unique horses at Brú Horse Farm. You'll have time to pet them, take photos, and feed them with horse candy- a moment both kids and adults love.
20 minutes • Admission ticket included -
4Gullfoss
One of Iceland’s most famous sights, Gullfoss, or “Golden Falls,” is a dramatic two-tiered waterfall that crashes into a deep canyon. Walk along the well-maintained paths to admire the raw power of nature. On sunny days, rainbows often appear in the mist.
45 minutes • Admission ticket included -
5Faxi (Vatnsleysufoss) Waterfall
A calm, curtain-style cascade on the Tungufljót River—quieter than the headline falls and perfect for a peaceful break. Easy paths and a short walk from the car park lead to close-up viewpoints (you can even spot the fish ladder beside the falls). Great for photos, a leg stretch, and soaking up Golden Circle scenery without the crowds. Accessible year-round; a gentle stop for families and nature lovers.
30 minutes • Admission ticket included -
6Kerid Crater
Step into Iceland’s volcanic past at Kerid, a colorful 3,000-year-old crater filled with striking turquoise water. A short walk up to the rim gives you a stunning panoramic view into the crater’s bowl. It's a stop that feels like a scene from another planet.
