About this activity
Explore the iconic Golden Circle, see the legendary Þingvellir National Park, walk where the earth trembles with heat at Geysir Hot Springs, and see the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls, Gullfoss. During this tour you get to decide when and where to stop as well as for how long. This unique hop-on hop-off tour stops at all of the Golden Circle’s most famous natural wonders and is a must-see for any visitor in Iceland. With four departures from every stop on the route, you can simply sit back and enjoy all of the best sites Iceland has to offer in one day.

The first stop is at Þingvellir, where you will walk in the footsteps of ancient Vikings by visiting the national park Þingvellir. Þingvellir was an open air parliament from 930-1793 set in an extremely dramatic location – in a rift valley, in between high cliffs. Also, there, right before your eyes you will see Iceland’s biggest lake, Þingvallavatn.

From there you will see the world famous Geysir – where the ground trembles and steaming hot water spouts spectacularly skywards from the famous Strokkur Geyser every few minutes. Your last stop is at the dramatic Gullfoss Waterfall, which is a breathtaking sight to behold. Here a powerful glacial river cascades down 105 feet (32 meters) on two levels and into a narrow canyon with a thunderous roar.

Take a picnic at Þingvellir, take a longer stroll around Geysir, or sit back and enjoy the thunder of Gullfoss for longer. The choice is yours.
